Overview

Exact data reflecting the epidemiology of paroxysmal AV block is unavailable. However certain studies have shown an increased incidence in the elderly, no gender predisposition and an association with bundle branch blocks.

Epidemiology

  • The ISSUE 2 study was characterised by a population of individuals with a high mean age, a history of recurrent syncope beginning in middle or older ages, and frequent injuries probably due to presentation without warning.[2]
