non progressive.Underlying cardiac problem.consult
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Hi, thanks for using HCM. I went through the query and understood your concern.
If complete heart block, then patient's normal way of heart contraction will be absent due to no impulse transmission to the heart. Its not a progressive condition but the patient may suffer from dizziness, weaknes due to low pulse rate. This may also suggest any underlying heart problem and Patient may totally asymptomatic, without any symptoms can cause sudden death also.
So once detected as complete or even partial heart block you need to consult your cardiologist for evaluation. With type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol level you are in high risk for any cardiac events. So better to consult your doctor as early as possible.
Usually this will be corrected with pace makers. But before any treatment you will be evaluated for the reason behind the problem and then planned for further management.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you and your family a very happy life and good health.
Regards
