Contraindications
Contraindications of progesterone include hypersensitivity to progesterone or progestogens, prevention of cardiovascular disease (a Black Box warning), thrombophlebitis, thromboembolic disorder, cerebral hemorrhage, impaired liver function or disease, breast cancer, reproductive organ cancers, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, missed menstruations, miscarriage, or a history of these conditions. Progesterone should be used with caution in people with conditions that may be adversely affected by fluid retention such as epilepsy, migraine headaches, asthma, cardiac dysfunction, and renal dysfunction. It should also be used with caution in patients with anemia, diabetes mellitus, a history of depression, previous ectopic pregnancy, and unresolved abnormal Pap smear. Use of progesterone is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the medication has been deemed usually safe in breastfeeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics, but should not be used during the first four months of pregnancy. Some progesterone formulations contain benzyl alcohol, and this may cause a potentially fatal "gasping syndrome" if given to premature infants. Side effects
Progesterone is well tolerated, and many clinical studies have reported no side effects. Side effects of progesterone may include abdominal cramps, back pain, breast tenderness, constipation, nausea, dizziness, edema, vaginal bleeding, hypotension, fatigue, dysphoria, depression, and irritability, among others. Central nervous system depression, such as sedation and cognitive/memory impairment, can also occur.Vaginal progesterone may be associated with vaginal irritation, itchiness, and discharge, decreased libido, painful sexual intercourse, vaginal bleeding or spotting in association with cramps, and local warmth or a "feeling of coolness" without discharge. Intramuscular injection may cause mild-to-moderate pain at the site of injection.
In an electrophysiology study, trifascicular block due to AV nodal disease is represented by a prolonged AH interval (denoting prolonged time from impulse generation in the atria and conduction to the bundle of His) with a relatively preserved HV interval (denoting normal conduction from the bundle of His to the ventricles). Trifascicular block due to distal conduction system disease is represented by a normal AH interval and a prolonged HV interval. In the absence of symptoms, a prolonged AH interval is likely benign while a prolonged HV interval is almost always pathologic. Treatment
An implantable cardiac pacemaker or permanent pacemaker is recommended in the following clinical circumstances. Class 1 recommendation is the strongest recommendation. Level A evidence is the highest level of evidence.Class I

Bifascicular block + complete heart block, even in the absence of symptoms (1b)
Bifascicular block + 2nd degree AV Block Type 2, even in the absence of symptoms (1b)
Alternating bundle branch blocks, even in the absence of symptoms (1c)Class II

Bifascicular block + syncope + alternative causes ruled out (e.g. orthostasis, arrhythmia) (2a)Class III (i.e. pacemaker not recommended)

Bifascicular block without symptoms
Bifascicular block + 1st degree AV Block, without symptoms
