My father just passed away with third degree heart block. is this hereditary? just has calcium score 0. no meds; synthroid (thyroxine) only - gland removed.

3rd degree AV block: Conduction system (electrical system) disease can be hereditary. You need to monitor with at least an ECG a year and report to your doctor if you feel faint or dizzy.
