The incidence for congenital heart block is estimated as high as 1 in 15,000 live births. Up to 90% of cases of congenital heart block, in which there is no anatomical abnormalities, are attributed to maternal systemic lupus erythematous or Sjögren's disease. 50% of these mothers are asymptomatic at time of diagnosis. The post-natal cardiac manifestations have been felt to be irreversible. In this article we present, to our knowledge, the first case of spontaneous conversion of immune mediate 3 degree heart block to sinus rhythm postnatally.

Background: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, and cases of Lyme disease have nearly doubled since the early 2000s. Symptoms and presentation vary based on severity of illness, with more serious complications of disease consisting of neurologic and cardiac dysfunction. Testing is often unreliable, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and management.

Introduction: Conductive disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation remain a major concern after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aims: To assess the impact of aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) on conductive disturbances requiring PPM after TAVI.
Methods: All patients who underwent TAVI with accessible AVCS from the preprocedural CT scan report were included in this retrospective single-centre study.

Background: There is limited information on protective factors related to atrioventricular (AV) block.
Objective: This study examines the association between accelerometer-derived moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and AV block in healthy elderly individuals.
Methods: A total of 23,590 UK Biobank participants ≥60 years involved in a wrist-worn accelerometer study with no history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease were analyzed.
