Learn About Congenital Heart Block

What is the definition of Congenital Heart Block?
Congenital heart block is a rare condition that affects the heart's electrical system, which controls and coordinates its pumping function. In infants affected by this condition, the electrical signal that spreads across the heart and causes it to contract and pump blood, is slowed or completely interrupted. This can interfere with the heart's normal rate and rhythm and may significantly limit the ability of the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. Congenital heart block generally develops between 18 and 33 weeks of pregnancy. The underlying cause of the condition is poorly understood. However, mothers with lupus or another autoimmune diseases and parents with congenital heart disorders have an increased risk of having a child with a Congenital heart block.

I grew up in a working class family in a small town in Illinois. Caring for children was the primary goal that steered me into a medical career. My pediatric and cardiology training were at St Louis Children's Hospital / Washington University. I trained for two years in pediatric electrophysiology under Professor J. Philip Saul at the Medical University of South Carolina. My wife and I love living in Ann Arbor and have two school age boys. I have been the Cubmaster of a local pack for over 5 years and enjoy volunteering my time to help children outside of the hospital. My free time is spent as the family cook and in activities with my children. Dr. Lapage is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Congenital Heart Block.
