Overview
AV blocks are fairly common however, third-degree AV block is relatively rare. The incidence in the general population appears to be low, approximately 20 to 40 in 100,000 individuals in the United States. Given the etiology of the disease, the incidence among the apparently healthy and presumptively asymptomatic is even lower at approximately 1 in 100,000.
