Original Article Incidence of and Risk Factors for CatheterizationInduced Complete Heart Block in the Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Douglas Y. Mah, MD; Diego Porras, MD; Lisa Bergersen, MD, MPH; Audrey C. Marshall, MD; Edward P. Walsh, MD; John K. Triedman, MD Background—The majority of the literature on catheterization-induced heart block (CIHB) was published >30 years ago. The field of cardiac catheterization has evolved, performing more interventional compared with diagnostic cases. We sought to determine the incidence and risk factors of CIHB. Methods and Results—A catheterization database that records the occurrence of adverse events on all cases was queried for heart block. Additional retrospective data on event outcome were collected on patients who developed CIHB. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to identify risk factors of CIHB (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval). In a 6-year period, 6183 cases were performed. The median weight was 15.0 (7.0–47.0) kg, with 29% consisting of infants
