Can asymptomatic complete congenital heart block in pregnant women be successfully managed conservatively without pacemaker implantation?
This case demonstrates that conservative management of asymptomatic complete congenital heart block during pregnancy can be safe and effective, avoiding the risks of pacemaker implantation.
Individualized management of complete heart block in pregnancy persists; extends descriptive cases but leaves open prospective protocols.
Treatment options in patients with complete congenital heart block (atrioventricular block of III degree) may be controversial. Major obstacles are faced in pregnant women with newly detected heart block. Type of arrhythmia, presence of hemodynamic instability or syncope, anatomy of heart chambers and vessels, gestational age significantly influence the treatment. This article presents substantial information on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, and possible treatment options in pregnant women with complete congenital heart block.
