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
- Usually occurs at AVN. Patients are intially asymptomatic but may symptomatic during exertion. Mostly associated with maternal antibodies to SS-A (Ro) and SS-B (La).
Common causes of acquired AV block are as follows
- Ischemia or infarction:
- AV node (AVN) block associated with inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI)
- His-Purkinje block associated with anterior wall MI
- Drugs:
- Most of the antiarrhythmics like quinidine, , disopyramide,procainamide flecainide, encainide, beta-blockers propafenone, , amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide, calcium channel blockers, Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides.
- Infectious disease:
- Lyme borreliosis (mostly in endemic areas)
- Myocarditis
- Aspergillus myocarditis
- Chagas disease: Trypanosoma cruzi infection
- Varicella-zoster virus infection
- Valve ring abscess
- Degenerative diseases:
- Lenègre disease (sclerodegenerative process involving only the conduction system)
- Lev's disease (calcification of the conduction system and valves)
- Noncompaction cardiomyopathy
- Nail-patella syndrome
- Mitochondrial myopathy
- Rheumatic diseases:
- Infiltrative pathologies:
- Neuromuscular disorders:
- Metabolic abnormality:
- Toxins:
- Grayanotoxin:“Mad” honey
- Natural cardiac glycosides such as oleandrin
- Bradycardia-related block
- Iatrogenic heart block
- Aortic valve surgery
- Septal alcohol ablation
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the left anterior descending artery
- Ablation of the slow or fast pathway of the AVN
- Ablation of accessory pathways near AVN
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.
Common Causes
- Acute rheumatic fever
- Coronary ischemia
- Myocardial infarction [2]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Valvular heart disease
Medications inducing bradycardia or conduction disorder
