Summary
A 15-year-old female is scheduled for a mastoidectomy. Her mother reports that she was 8 weeks premature and has significant developmental delays. She is followed closely at an outside hospital for her primary care. Her mother also tells you that she was recently diagnosed with a second-degree heart block (Mobitz type II). She hands you a copy of the cardiologist’s note. He recommends a follow-up appointment and EKG in 3 months, but no medications or pacemaker. The patient is currently asymptomatic. Are you concerned? How will you treat this patient? Would you place external pacemaker pads? Would you like another cardiology consult?
