Are suboptimal blood pressure and fasting glucose levels associated with the development of atrioventricular block?
Suboptimal blood pressure and fasting glucose are identified as modifiable risk factors associated with the development of AV block.
In this analysis of data from a population-based cohort study, suboptimal blood pressure and fasting glucose level were associated with AV block. These results suggest that a large proportion of AV blocks are assocated with these risk factors, even after adjusting for other major adverse coronary events.
