Recent studies have demonstrated immunologic abnormalities in the mothers of infants with congenital complete heart block. The disorder should be suspected when a slow pulse rate is detected before or after birth. The block most often occurs in the AV node. There are several specific indications for pacemaker therapy. Most patients who survive beyond infancy are able to lead relatively normal lives.
