This review explores the comprehensive management of pregnancy in cases of complete heart block, a cardiac condition characterized by the dissociation between atrial and ventricular conduction. The review begins with a thorough examination of preconception counseling, emphasizing the assessment of maternal health, the evaluation of cardiac function, and the identification of potential risks. Subsequently, the medical management section delves into using beta-blockers, pacemakers, and antiarrhythmic drugs to monitor cardiac function during pregnancy and adjust medication regimens. Obstetric considerations highlight the importance of antenatal care, fetal monitoring, and thoughtful delivery planning, including the choice between vaginal delivery and cesarean section. The section on complications underscores the risks of arrhythmias, heart failure, premature birth, and neonatal cardiac issues. Looking ahead, the future directions and research section explores ongoing studies in genetics, pharmacology, and technological innovations, envisioning potential advancements in pacing technology and personalized medicine approaches. The conclusion synthesizes key findings, offering recommendations for clinical practice and reflecting on the challenges and opportunities inherent in managing pregnancy in complete heart block cases. The multidisciplinary approach emerges as paramount, with collaborative efforts paving the way for improved patient outcomes and advancements in the field.

“…In current clinical practice, the most often used non-invasive imaging method is echocardiography for sequential analysis of complex CHD. Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging method that can be performed bedside, no radiation exposure occurs, it is an inexpensive method, and it can be repeated at any time [13]. Transesopheged (TEE) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are reliable in diagnosing most CHD in the pediatric and adult populations [14,15].…”

Situs ambiguous accounts for 4% of all congenital heart disease (CHD) and has an incidence of 1:10,000 new born births. To standardize the nomenclature for CHD, the international nomenclature society published a globally accepted nomenclature tree for CHD with the 11th Iteration of international classification of disease. According to this publication common atrium, single atrium and atrium communis are denoted as synonyms. The incidence of common atrium among atrial septal defect (ASD) patients is 3–4% only and thus denoting it to be a rare entity. We are presenting an exceedingly rare case of a patient of situs ambiguous, left isomerism, and single atrium with a cleft on the anterior mitral leaflet, evaluated comprehensively by four-dimensional X-strain color Doppler echocardiography.
