[|Human|] My wife (31) suffers from complete heart block (AV block). Some doctors say it is congenital. She, however, feels that she was absolutely fine before she, in her 14th year had a severe drug reaction (caused by Quinine and Paraxin ?) that caused these symptoms like bradicardia (hers is 45 bpm). Doctors say if she gets a syncope she should get a dual chambered pacemaker. Can alternate medicine help?
[|AI|]  **1. Patients with third-degree AV block [complete heart block] typically experience. . Bradycardia (low heart rate: 45 in your wife case), Hypotension [low blood pressure], and. Hemodynamic instability: as the heart cannot react quickly enough to sudden changes in demand or sustain the higher heart rates required for prolonged activity.PS. Prognosis is generally poor without therapy [dual chambered pacemaker is the best alternate] along with medicines to control blood pressure and atrial fibrillation, as well as lifestyle and dietary changes to reduce risk factors associated with heart attack and stroke.
