The prognosis of patients with congenital heart diseases have improved considerably over past decades, due to advancements in surgical techniques. The prognosis post surgical correction depends on the following factors-
- Hemodynamic status
- Presence of residual defects
- Condition of myocardium
- Presence of cardiac electrical instability.
In recent years there has been significant decrease in surgical mortality. Also, hemodynamic improvement could be achieved. The recent decrease in non electrical complications post surgery have shifted the focus towards decreasing complications due to defects in conduction system (induced post surgery). Recent studies have shown that increased efforts are required to protect the conduction system more specifically, His bundle [1].
