A follow-up study was done on 55 patients, all members of families with type I progressive familial heart block (PFHB) examined during 1977. Of the 55 patients 5 had died, 17 had normal ECGs while 7 with previously abnormal ECGs remained unchanged. All the others had progressed to a more severe form of heart block and 8 of them had received permanent pacemakers. These findings again emphasize the importance of regular ECG follow-up examinations of members of PFHB families.
对55名患者进行了一项随访研究,这些患者均为1977年接受检查的I型进行性家族性心脏传导阻滞(PFHB)家族的成员。55名患者中,5人已死亡,17人心电图正常,7名既往心电图异常者病情未变。其他所有人的心脏传导阻滞均进展为更严重的形式,其中8人已接受永久性起搏器治疗。这些发现再次强调了对PFHB家族成员进行定期心电图随访检查的重要性。
