| Factor | Duration of postop TCHB (Transient complete heart block) (days) |
| Description | The results showed that the median duration of TCHB was 5 days in the TCHB group compared with 9 days in the LCHB group (p = 0.01). |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | A3 (clinical factor - disease & symptom) |

| Application | prognosis |
| Objective | assess the risk for the development of late complete heart block (LCHB) after recovery of TCHB |
| p Value | 0.01 |
| Conclusion | delayed recovery of AVC after surgical TCHB (≥7 days), but not electrophysiologic properties of recovered AVC assessed early in the postoperative period strongly, predicts risk of LCHB. Follow-up evaluation of AVC is particularly indicated for the delayed recovery group. |
