Abstract
A 19-year-old primigravida was diagnosed to have complete heart block (CHB) during her antenatal
checkup at 36 weeks. The patient had history of syncope a few years back. She was referred to the
National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD). A temporary pacemaker was implanted at
NICVD. She was then referred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where a baby girl was
delivered by cesarean section. A permanent pacemaker was implanted later at NICVD. To our
knowledge this is the first case report of pace maker implantation in a pregnant woman from
Bangladesh.
