Implication

May localize variable post-Fallot repair block sites beyond ECG; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Outcome
Site of complete heart block and electrophysiological characteristicssurrogate

His bundle recordings can accurately identify the variable anatomical sites of complete heart block following intracardiac surgery, which may not be predictable from routine ECGs.
