title: Congenital complete atrioventricular block--two cases report.
abstract: We encountered two cases of congenital complete atrioventricular block out of 23,400 deliveries during the past 3 years. Two-dimensional and M-mode fetal echocardiography revealed complete atrioventricular block without structural abnormality. Anti-Ro (SS-A) antibodies were present in both the mother and infant of these two cases. The ventricular rates of these two infants were 31 and 80 beats/min respectively. Pacemaker implantation was performed for the first infant.
