Incidence and predictors of complete atrioventricular conduction recovery among patients with heart block

In this study, our aim was to determine clinical factors related to the recovery of the conduction system in patients presenting with atrioventricular (AV) block. A total of 178 patients who were hospitalized at a tertiary center due to second- or third-degree AV block were retrospectively analyzed....

Description
Summary:In this study, our aim was to determine clinical factors related to the recovery of the conduction system in patients presenting with atrioventricular (AV) block. A total of 178 patients who were hospitalized at a tertiary center due to second- or third-degree AV block were retrospectively analyzed. During hospital follow-up, 19.1% of patients had fully recovered from AV block. According to a logistic regression analysis; younger age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.950; 95% CI: 0.932–0.967; p
