1:1 atrioventricular conduction in congenital complete heart block

1:1 atrioventricular conduction in congenital complete heart block.

A female neonate with congenital complete heart block developed atrioventricular conduction through an accessory pathway. Despite sinus rhythm and an adequate heart rate she developed severe dilated cardiomyopathy and died at age 14 months. This case illustrates that underlying heart block can be present in individuals with asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and that the dilated cardio...

Concealed retrograde conduction in complete atrioventricular block.

INCOMPLETE TRANSMISSION of impulses across the atrioventricular (A-V) junction has held a special fascination for many investigators.'14 Varied investigational techniques including venous pulse waves, standard electrocardiograms, and direct catheter electrode recordings from the cardiac chambers have been used to further the understanding of retrograde transmission of impulses into the A-V junc...

treatment of congenital complete atrioventricular heart block with permanent epicardial pacemaker in neonatal lupus syndrome

conclusions mothers with sle should be screened and closely followed up during pregnancy for the development of fetal atrioventricular (av) block. case presentation a term infant with fetal bradycardia, detected at the 23rd gestational age, was diagnosed with chb due to nls and was successfully treated with a permanent epicardial pacemaker. the patient was reported here due to rarity of the pro...

Congenital complete heart block.

Congenital Complete Heart Block.

Few of the reported cases of congenital complete heart block have been over twenty years of age. It seems, therefore, worth reporting seven cases who are in good health at various ages between 22 and 42 years. This aetiological factor should, therefore, be thought of in middle-aged and even in elderly patients with complete heart block of unknown oetiology. Campbell and Suzman (1934), reporting...
