Recovery from congenital complete atrioventricular block

Pediatr Cardiol. 1988;9(3):163-6. doi: 10.1007/BF02080558.

Abstract

Congenital complete atrioventricular block without any other intracardiac anomaly reverted to sinus rhythm at the age of 7 years. The girl had had heart failure and Adams-Stokes attacks when aged 1 year, requiring pacemaker implantation. Electrocardiography confirmed sinus rhythm for the first time at the age of 7 years. At the same time, a treadmill test yielded a normal tracing without any arrhythmias.
