Key result
Pacemaker implantation manages adult congenital complete heart block but remains challenging in asymptomatic patients.
Why the study?
Congenital complete heart block can remain unnoticed for a long time, and decisions regarding cardiac pacemaker implantation can be challenging, particularly in asymptomatic adults.
Cardiac pacemaker implantation is the primary management for congenital complete heart block in adults, though the decision remains challenging in asymptomatic patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Pacemaker implantation remains standard for adult congenital complete heart block; leaves open optimal timing in asymptomatic patients.
Taweel et al. (2022) conducted a review in Congenital complete heart block (CCHB). Cardiac pacemaker implantation was evaluated. Management of congenital complete heart block in adults is achieved by cardiac pacemaker implantation, which can be a challenging decision in asymptomatic patients.
