Implication

Does not change management of congenital complete heart block; extends sparse serial-section pathology data.

Key Points

  • This research aims to highlight the increasing recognition and diagnostic criteria of congenital heart block.
  • Serial sections through the conduction system were utilized to study three cases of congenital heart block.
  • Criteria for diagnosis included proving auriculoventricular dissociation graphically in younger individuals and noting bradycardia early.
  • The case reported is the third of its kind thoroughly examined through the conduction system.
  • Previous knowledge suggests congenital heart block may be more prevalent than previously perceived.
