简介
Aims
To describe aetiologies and temporal trends in young patients with atrioventricular block (AVB).
Methods and results
We identified all patients in Denmark, receiving their first pacemaker because of AVB before the age of 50 years between 1996 and 2015. Medical records were reviewed and clinical information and diagnostic work-up results were obtained to evaluate the aetiology. We used Poisson regression testing for temporal trends. One thousand and twenty-seven patients were identified, median age at time of implantation was 38 (interquartile range 25–45) years, 584 (56.9%) were male. The aetiologies were complications to cardiac surgery [n = 157 (15.3%)], congenital AVB [n = 93 (9.0%)], cardioinhibitory reflex [n = 52 (5.0%)], congenital heart disease [n = 43 (4.2%)], complication to radiofrequency ablation [n = 35 (3.4%)], cardiomyopathy [n = 31 (3 …
