Implication

Prenatal detection of congenital heart block is feasible with early ECG confirmation; leaves open its incidence and management in contemporary cohorts.

Key Points

  • To document a novel case of congenital heart block identified before birth and synthesize findings from historically documented cases verified by graphic records.
  • Reviewed previously published cases of graphic record-verified congenital heart block compiled by Carter and Howland (n=8).
  • Identified and added three additional cases (two from literature and one newly observed case detected prenatally with postnatal electrocardiographic confirmation on day 4).
  • Evaluated an additional probable case and reviewed pediatric heart block series reported in children under 14 years of age.
  • Identified a total of 12 documented cases of congenital heart block verified through objective graphic records.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of prenatal detection confirmed by electrocardiography on the fourth day of life.
  • Characterized clinical features across confirmed congenital cases compared with broader pediatric heart block cohorts.

P
Population
Patients with congenital heart block, including cases discovered before birth and in children under 14 years of age.

This early report documents rare cases of congenital heart block, highlighting the possibility of prenatal discovery and electrocardiographic confirmation shortly after birth.
