title: [Familial complete atrioventricular block of adult onset].
abstract: A family of complete atrioventricular block (FCAVB) of adult onset was reported. A 36-year-old-female had 1 degree AH block, atrial and ventricular premature beats and mild sinus node dysfunction. Her father had complete AV block and died of it. A 57-year-old uncle and a 52 years-old uncle had bradycardia from 44, 5 years of age and 51 years of age, respectively, and their ECG showed complete AV block with narrow QRS waves. They were implanted with permanent pacemakers. Her grandmother died a sudden death of Adams-Stokes attack. Acquired heart diseases were not seen in any of the family Thus, this family was thought a FCAVB of adult onset.
