Treatment for second-degree heart block depends on the type and severity of the block. Type I (Wenckebach) may not require treatment unless symptoms are present, while Type II often necessitates a pacemaker to prevent progression to complete heart block. Symptomatic patients may receive medications to manage symptoms, but definitive treatment usually involves device implantation. Regular monitoring and evaluation by a healthcare provider are essential.
