Overview
Common risk factors of congenital heart block includes pregnant woman with lupus and congenital heart defects. Common risk factors of acquired heart block include patients with history of heart diseases, patients with sarcoidosis, and exposure to toxic dose of digitalis increase the risk of heart block.
Risk Factors
Congenital Heart Block
- If a pregnant woman has an autoimmune disease, such as lupus, her fetus is at risk for heart block.
- Autoantibodies in some autoimmune diseases can damage the AV node and causes heart block.
- A newborn of patients with congenital heart defects has increased risk of developing heart diseases including heart block.
Acquired Heart Block
- Common risk factors of acquired heart block include the following:[1]
- Patients with history of heart diseases as heart failure, coronary heart disease, and cardiomyopathy.
- Patients with sarcoidosis and defenerative muscle disorders as Lev's disease and Lenegre's disease.
- Exposure to toxic substances or taking certain medicines, such as digitalis, also can raise your risk of heart block.
- Well-trained athletes and young people are at higher risk for first-degree heart block caused by an overly active vagus nerve.
