Diagnosis of first-, and second-degree heart block is made by observing it on an electrocardiograph (ECG).
Third-degree heart block usually results in symptoms such as fainting, dizziness and sudden heart failure, which require immediate medical care. A physical exam and ECG confirm the presence of heart block.
