title: [Auriculoventricular block disclosed in the exercise test].
abstract: Sixteen patients, 14 of whom described stress related symptoms, present a severe atrio-ventricular block (A-V B), identified during a stress test while the ECG at rest showed a 1/1 atrioventricular conduction (AV). The electrophysiological study (EPS) creates the A-B Block through atrial stimulation and specifies the location of the A-V B: intra-hissian in 8 patients (7 with small QRS an 1 with widened QRS) and infra-hissian in 8 patients (all with widened QRS). Non-invasive methods constitute the prime approach in the diagnostic work-up of stress symptoms. The ideal treatment consists of a dual-chamber cardiac stimulation.
