Got heart block post-rfa. it is up and down between 1st/2nd degree. today i get some form of total av block on my ecg. my ep suggest a ppm. necessary?

Yes: With varying degrees of av block the heart rate slows. With Total or 3rd degree av block the heart rate can abruptly drop to the 30s or 40s, or the heart may actually fail to beat at all for several seconds or more, and you could faint. So, pacer is highly recommended. I agree with your EP doc.
