Abstract

Children with complete heart block following surgery for congenital heart diseases were prospectively followed to assess the timing for recovery of atrioventricular conduction, and to determine if there were clinical variables that reliably predict permanent heart block. Recovery of atrioventricular conduction occurred by postoperative day 9 in 97% of patients with transient heart block.
