Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The prevalence of First-degree AV block is approximately 1000-2000 per 100,000 individuals in developed countries.[1]
- The incidence of First-degree AV block was estimated to be 1000 cases per 100,000 in children and significantly lower than adult and adolescent athletes due to lower vagal tone .
Age
- First-degree AV block is more commonly observed among elderly patients.
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected with first-degree AV block than women .
- The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
Race
- First-degree AV block was more commonly observed among African-American subjects compared with Caucasian subjects.[2]
The prevalence of first degree AV block is estimated to be 650-1600 per 100,000 individuals in the united states. First degree AV block is associated with advanced age and is more prevalent in men older than 60 years.
