Consumer:

The use of procainamide is contraindicated in patients with complete AV node block because of its effects in suppressing nodal or ventricular pacemakers and the hazard of asystole. Therapy with procainamide should be avoided in patients with second-degree AV block or various hemiblocks in the absence of a functional artificial pacemaker.
