Mobitz type 2 AV block

Hi All,

During last medical check based on my ECG the doctors suspected the bradycardia, so I was to provide the 24H ECG, echocardiogram and stress ECG.

Unfortunately in the 24H ECG there is visible a Mobitz type 2 AV (atrioventricular) block (3:2). I've read in the JAR-FCL 3 that this rythm disturbance is disqualifying (but not sure whether disqualifying when visible in the basic ECG or ocassionally in 24H ECG). Does anyone had it? Did you have problems with this heart condition to get a
medical certificate? Doctor says that within next 10 years I may expect an implant of pacemaker - do you know cases of pilots flying with an pacemaker in Europe?

The other significant rythm disturbances in the 24H ECG were 15 supraventrucular excitations (15 SVE) and 1 case of bradycardia.
Are there any pilots with these rythm disturbances?

I'm really worried that my heart condition may disqualify my medical class 1 certificate. Looking forward any piece of information from pilots suffering to the
similar heart problems.

Best regards,
Raul
