What are the indications for a permanent pacemaker ?   • Symptomatic bradyarrhythmias (heart rate <40 beats/min or documented periods of asystole >30 seconds when awake). Symptoms include syncope, pre-syncope, confusion, seizures, or congestive heart failure and they must be clearly related to the bradycardia.   • Asymptomatic Mobitz type I1 atrioventricular block (N Engl d Med 1998; 338: 1147-8).   • Complete heart block.
