Implication

HAVB in ACS signals high in-hospital mortality risk; extends prior associations but leaves optimal management open for prospective trials.

High-grade AV block complicating acute coronary syndromes is associated with a 4-fold increased risk of in-hospital mortality, despite a decreasing incidence over time.
