Overview

Atrioventricular block can be due to congenital or acquired causes. The latter are much more common form and include infectious, inflammatory, degenerative, ischemic, and iatrogenic causes. The degenerative cause are associated with increased age, chronic hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Infectious cause of atrioventricular block such as lyme carditis may be reversible with medical therapy. Another reversible cause of atrioventricular block including ischemic inferior wall MI due to vagotonic effect should be considered.

Causes

The causes of third degree heart block can be broadly divided into acquired and congenital. Many of the acquired causes are the result of Infiltration, fibrosis, or loss of connection in the heart conduction system that can tend to develop heart block.

Congenital form of complete heart block

Common causes of acquired AV block are as follows

  • Drugs:
  • Infectious disease:


  • Degenerative diseases:
  • Rheumatic diseases:
  • Infiltrative pathologies:
  • Neuromuscular disorders:
  • Metabolic abnormality:


  • Toxins:
  • Bradycardia-related block
  • Iatrogenic heart block

Life Threatening Causes

Third degree heart block is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions can result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
