Zusammenfassung

Background: Isolated congenital heart block (CHB) occurs in 2–3% of fetuses whose mothers have anti-Ro/La antibodies. Mechanical PR interval (mPR) can now be measured in utero allowing for the detection of first degree heart block. Identification of prolonged PR interval may be the first sign of maternal connective disease and may rapidly progress to CHB. We report our experience in the management of pregnant patients with Ro/La antibodies. Methods: Retrospective audit from 2000 to September 2007 of all Ro/La positive mothers were examined. Each patient was monitored by serial echocardiography weekly from 16 up…
