Association between cardiac conduction block and cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: The kailuan study

Although bundle branch block and atrioventricular block are recognized to be association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, the relationship between cardiac conduction block (CCB) and both CVD and all-cause mortality has yet to be explored.Aims: To explore the relationship between CCB and CVD and all-cause mortality.Methods and results: We included 145,805 subjects (mean age 49.7  years, 81.2% males) from the kailuan study. CCB was diagnosed through a 12‑lead electrocardiograph (ECG).
