PENDAHULUAN
A. Latar belakang
Gangguan konduksi jantung adalah gangguan yang terjadi pada sistem
konduksi jantung sehingga aliran listrik jantung tidak berjalan lancar atau
berhenti di tengah jalan. Sistem konduksi jantung terdiri atas SA node, AV
node, berkas His, Bundle Branch, dan serabut purkinje. AV block
merupakan salah satu kondisi gangguan konduksi jantung yang terjadi jika
jalur SA node ke AV node terhambat. Waktu yang dibutuhkan impuls
listrik untuk menjalar dari atrium sampai ventrikel akan terekam di EKG
sebagai interval PR. Jika aliran ini terhambat, maka interval PR menjadi
lebih panjang. Interval PR yang normal berkisar antara 0,12-0,20 detik.
Berdasarkan pemeriksaan EKG, AV block dibedakan menjadi 3 yaitu AV
block tingkat 1, AV Block tingkat 2, dan AV Block tingkat 3 (total AV
block).
AV Block derajat 1 memiliki interval PR memanjang lebih dari 0,2
detik. Pada AV block derajat 2, terjadi kegagalan impuls dari atrium untuk
mencapai ventrikel secara intermitten sehingga denyut ventrikel
berkurang, sedangkan total AV block merupakan keadaan darurat jantung
yang membutuhkan penanganan segera. Block ini biasanya merupakan
perkembangan dari block 1 atau 2, namun bisa juga terjadi tanpa block
parsial sebelumnya. Pada keadaan ini, terjadi blok total di nodus AV
sehingga impuls dari atrium sama sekali tidak dapat sampai ke ventrikel.
Ventrikel akan berdenyut sendiri dari impuls yang berasal dari dirinya
sendiri.

TINJAUAN PUSTAKA
Jantung terdiri dari 4 ruang yaitu 2 ruang yang berdinding tipis disebut
atrium ( serambi ) dan 2 ruang yang berdinding tebal disebut ventrikel (bilik).
4 katup yaitu 2 katup antrioventrikuler ( triskupidalis dan biskupidalis ), 2
katup seminular ( pulmonal dan aorta ). 3 lapis yaitu epikardium,
miokardium, dan endocardium,

Av Node berfungsi untuk menahan implus jantung selama
0,08-0,12 detik untuk memungkinkan pengisian ventrikel
selama atrium berkontraksi, selain AV node dapat
mengeluarkan implus 40-60 kali/menit

B. Difinisi
Blok jantung adalah suatu kondisi medis berupa tersumbatnya aliran listrik
yang menyuplai jantung. Normalnya, aliran listrik jantung berasal dari ruang
jantung atas (atrium) ke ruang jantung bawah (ventrikel), dan berperan
menghasilkan denyut jantung. Pada beberapa kasus, adanya blok jantung
membuat denyut jantung terganggu sehingga organ ini tidak mampu
memompa darah ke seluruh tubuh dengan baik. Akibatnya, gejala seperti
pingsan dan kondisi yang lebih berat berupa gagal jantung dapat terjadi
C. Etiologi
1. AV blok derajat 1
Terjadi pada semua usia dan pada jantung normal atau penyakit jantung.
PR yang memanjang lebih dari 0,2 detik dapat disebabkan oleh obat-
obatan seperti digitalis, β blocker, penghambat saluran kalsium, serta
penyakit arteri coroner, berbagai penyakit infeksi dan lesi conginetal.
2. AV blok derajat II
11
3. AV blok derajat III ( komplit )
Penyebab dari tepe ini sama dengan penyebab pada AV blok pada derajat
yang lebih kecil. Blok jantung lengkap atau derajat tiga bias terlihat
setelah IMA. Dalam irama utama ini, tidak ada koordinasi antara
kontraksi atrium dan ventrikel, karena kecepatan ventrikel sendiri sekitar
20-40 kali permenit, maka sering penderita menyajikan tanda-tanda curah
jantung yang buruk seperti hipotensi dan perfusi serebrum yang buruk
( Verdy, 2012 )
3. AV blok derajat I
4. AV blok derajat II

c. Blok Mobitz tipe II merupakan aritmia yang lebih serius karena lebih
sering menyebabkan kompleks QRS menghilang. Penderita blok
Mobitz tipe II sering menderita gejala penurunan curah jantung dan
akan memerlukan atropine dalam dosis yang telah disebutkan
sebelumnya
(Reference terbaru)
E. Patofisiologi
13
Pada blok jantung derajat tiga, tidak ada impuls yang dihantarkan ke
ventrikel, terjadi henti jantung, kecuali bila escape pacemaker dari ventrikel
ataupun sambungan atrioventrikuler mulai berfungsi. Blok berkas cabang
adalah terputusnya hantaran berkas cabang yang memperpanjang waktu
depolarisasi hingga lebih dari 0,10 detik

1) Atropin (0,5 sampai 1 mg) bisa diberikan dengan dorongan IV. Bila
tidak ada kenaikan denyut nadi dalam respon terhadap atropine maka
bisa dimulai tetesan isoproterenol 1 mg dalam 500 ml D5W dengan
tetesan keciluntuk meningkatkan kecepatan denyut ventrikel.
Penderita yang menunjukkan blok jantung derajat tiga memerlukan
pemasangan alat pacu jantung untuk menjamin curah jantung yang
mencukupi (Boswick, 1988).

Linkage was assessed between the variant I376K and the disease
using standard method comparing likelihood under a recombination
fraction of 50% (no linkage) and 0% (full linkage). LOD score [23]
calcu- lation was performed with Superlink-Online SNP version 1.1
(http:// cbl-hap.cs.technion.ac.il/superlink-snp/main.php) [24].
We postulated a rare causal variant (frequency set at 1/10,000)
and dominant model with high penetrance (80%). The prevalence is
5% and therefore, the phenocopy rate is 0.0499.
A LOD score higher than 3 is considered as significant for linkage.

iden- tified using NGS technologies upon screening of a cohort of 95 one of the used public databases. Two of them (p.A432T and
patients p.G844D) were previously reported in familial autosomal conduction

pattern is similar to the clinical descriptions of the families
previously linked to mutations in TRPM4 [6,7], which corresponds to
the PFHB type IB defini- tion. Our study, in combination with
previously published works [6,7,
16] strongly support the prominent role of this cardiac TRP channel
in this subtype of conduction disease. The clinical onset of
conduction disturbances tends to occur at an early age among
affected patients. In particular, the presence of three cases of
congenital AVB implanted with a PM during the first year of life also
suggests an important role of heritability in disease severity.
Furthermore, the observation that these three congenital AVB
patients are first- or second-degree relatives suggests that additional
genetic factors are strengthening the disease susceptibility in these
patients.
Expression and functional analyses were performed using
HEK293 cells, in whole-cell patch-clamp configuration and Western
blotting. The TRPM4 p.I376T results in an increased current density
that may be caused by an augmented TRPM4 channel expression at
the cell surface as previously described [6,7]. The underlying mecha-
nisms leading to conduction block caused by TRPM4 dysfunction
are not yet understood. It has been proposed [15,29] that gain-of-
function mutations may depolarize the cells of the conduction sys-
tem, reduce the availability of the cardiac sodium channels and cur-
rent and thereby alter the normal impulse propagation in Purkinje
fibers. This model is consistent with the large QRS complexes ob-
served in PFHBI patients. Conversely, loss-of-function mutations of
TRPM4 may lead to a hyperpolarization of the membrane potential,
and so reduce cellular excitability and conduction. A detailed analy-
sis of the molecular mechanisms leading to the mutation-induced
gain of expression and function was out of the scope of the present
work. These findings, however, strongly support the role of TRPM4
gain-of-function in slowed cardiac impulse propagation.
