CARDIOLOGY

Recognize and manage patients with acute inferior myocardial infarction and second-degree atrioventricular block.

Explanation:

Pacing is on the minds of people when they see blocks on the EKG associated with MIs. Not all blocks are to be paced. Those that need pacing are Symptomatic blocks, Third degree and Mobitz type 2 blocks associated with ANTERIOR MI. Those associated with Inferior MIs can be observed unless symptomatic. The last part is important because most of us see them paced during our training in the USA.
