Abstract
We have described several cases of complete heart block on the background of rheumatism ("Ter. arch”", 1955), and both favorable and unfavorable clinical course. In all cases, an electrocardiographic break was noted in the passage of the pulse from the atria to the ventricles, when the atria and ventricles contract independently of each other. Some authors believe that the life expectancy of patients with complete atrioventricular heart block of rheumatic etiology does not exceed 2-3 years.
