Congenital Complete Heart Block.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 eight cases, suggested that " when patients have been followed for a longer time they may be found in good health at a more advanced age." Of the eight cases reported in 1934, one had died and one was then only 3 so would still be a child; the remaining six, who were then between 12 and 33 years of age, and another man of 29, who was seen soon after, have been followed up; all have been traced and found to be leading ordinary lives without trouble from their hearts. This paper is not concerned with a clinical description of their condition which has been given already. It is an attempt to assess their capacity for leading a normal active life during the nine years that have elapsed since they were reported. The first six are given the same case numbers as in the previous paper; the seventh (Case 9) has not been reported previously.
