ABSTRACT
In young adults, chronic atrioventricular (AV) block has scant systematic documentation in India. This prospective study included patients 18-40 years old, presenting with AV block without a reversible cause. There were 27 patients, aged 32 +/- 6.3 years, with 16 males. All patients had complete AV block with a narrow QRS escape rhythm (rate 40.5 ± 6.5 beats/min). Three patients were ANA positive and of these, 2 patients were anti ds DNA positive. The ESR and CRP levels were mildly elevated in 12 and 8 patients respectively. The rest of the tests were unremarkable. Despite performing multiple tests, the etiology remained idiopathic in most.
