Incidence and risk factors associated with atrioventricular block in the general population: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study and Cardiovascular Health Study
To conclude, older age, male sex, white population, overweight, combined diabetes or chronic kidney disease, impaired FVC, elevated inflammation biomarkers, left bundle branch block and bifascicular block were independent predictors for high-degree AVB. The next 40 years would witness a dramatic increase in the incidence of high-degree AVB.
