Are There Any Chances For Second-degree AV Block After First AV Block?
Saw a cardiologist today. He confirmed I have a level 1 block. Said it isn t serious but because of my familys history of heart disease and the swelling in my legs he is ordering a stress test and an ECG. Will a level 1 block gradually go to a level 2 and so forth? I forgot to ask him.

Hi,
Usually first degree AV block is a benign condition, and it progresses only when there is a progression of underlying heart disease. So if you follow your doctor's prescriptions carefully, take your medications regularly, you will have good chances not to progress to second degree AV block
Wishing you good health
