Overview

Many conditions can cause third-degree AV block, but the most common cause is coronary ischemia. The progressive degeneration of the electrical conduction system of the heart can lead to a complete heart block. In addition, acute myocardial infarction may present with third-degree AV block.
Third degree heart block may also be congenital and has been linked to the presence of lupus in the mother. The cause of congenital third-degree heart block in many patients is unknown.

Causes

Infiltration, fibrosis, or loss of connection in the heart conduction system can tend to heart block. A complete heart block can be either congenital or acquired.

Congenital form of complete heart block

  • Usually occurs at AVN.
  • Patients are relatively asymptomatic at rest.
  • Since the fixed heart rate is not able to adjust for exertion the become symptomatic with activity.
  • It may happen in the context of major structural abnormalities:  patients with L-transposition of the great arteries and two normally sized ventricles, as well as those with L-looped single-ventricle L-transposition of the great arteries, are at risk for spontaneous complete heart block and should undergo routine screening for complete heart block.
  • Or might be 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:
  • Class Ia antiarrhythmics: quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide
  • Class Ic antiarrhythmics: eg, flecainide, encainide, propafenone
  • Class II antiarrhythmics: beta-blockers
  • Class III antiarrhythmics: eg, amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide
  • Class IV antiarrhythmics: calcium channel blockers
  • Digoxin and other cardiac glycosides
  • Infectious disease:
  • Lyme borreliosis (particularly 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 disease (calcification of the conduction system and valves)
  • Noncompaction cardiomyopathy
  • Nail-patella syndrome
  • Mitochondrial myopathy
  • Rheumatic diseases:
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Reiter syndrome
  • Relapsing polychondritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Rheumatic fever
  • Scleroderma
  • Infiltrative pathologies:
  • Amyloidosis
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Malignan or benign tumors
  • Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Multiple myeloma
  • Neuromuscular disorders:
  • Becker muscular dystrophy
  • Myotonic dystrophy
  • Metabolic abnormality:
  • Hypoxia
  • Hyperkalemia
  • Hypothyroidism
  • 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.
