Diagnostics and treatment of life-threatening arrhythmia in children after the surgical correction of the congenital heart defect (CHD) is one of the acute problems of children’s cardiology. The article describes the clinical pattern, diagnistics and therapy of the Complete transitory atrioventricular block in a patient after surgical operation on the open heat. The prolonged Morgagni — Adams — Stokes attack, a grave complication of the complete transitory block, is one of the causes of sudden death. Occurrence of even a singular syncope in patients after CHD surgery requires, first of all, to exclude the arrhythmogenic nature of syncope states in order to implement the due and adequate therapy, including implantation of anti-arrhythmic devices
Key words: children, congenital heart disease, complete atrioventricular block, Morgagni — Adams — Stokes attack, pacemaker.
