Congenital heart block

Congenital heart block is a condition present at birth where the electrical signals that control the heartbeat are delayed or blocked, causing an abnormally slow heart rate. This disruption can affect how effectively the heart pumps blood throughout the body. It may occur due to genetic factors, immune system issues during pregnancy, or structural abnormalities in the heart. While some infants may require a pacemaker to regulate their heartbeat, others may have mild symptoms and live normal lives. Early diagnosis and management are essential to ensure proper heart function and overall health.
