Implication

Adds one infant case of congenital complete heart block; extends sparse case literature but leaves etiology and management open.

Key Points

  • Review historical accounts of congenital heart block and present a new pediatric case involving an associated structural cardiac defect.
  • Reviewed 15 previously documented cases of congenital heart block across published literature, including postmortem conduction system findings.
  • Documented the clinical presentation, birth history, and initial hospital evaluation of a 7-month-old infant (weight 3.4 kg at birth) admitted with heart block and congenital malformation.
  • Summarized historical signs and symptoms of congenital heart block, highlighting that postmortem analysis of the conduction system had been achieved in only one prior case.
  • Identified an additional presentation of complete heart block co-occurring with congenital cardiac structural malformation in a term infant.
