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.
在印度,年轻人的慢性房室(AV)传导阻滞鲜有系统的文献记载。本前瞻性研究纳入了 18-40 岁、存在无明确可逆病因的 AV 传导阻滞的患者。27 名患者的年龄为 32±6.3 岁,其中 16 名为男性。所有患者均存在完全性 AV 传导阻滞伴窄 QRS 逸搏节律(频率 40.5±6.5 次/分)。3 名患者抗核抗体阳性,其中 2 名抗双链 DNA 抗体阳性。12 名患者的红细胞沉降率和 C 反应蛋白水平轻度升高,8 名患者的红细胞沉降率和 C 反应蛋白水平轻度升高。其余检查均无明显异常。尽管进行了多项检查,但大多数患者的病因仍为特发性。
