Damage to the conduction system of the heart in the newborn

Abstract

Abstract Small hemorrhages in the conduction system of the heart were found in 10 out of 25 infants who died during the perinatal period. In half the number, the hemorrhages were associated with other petechiae in the myocardium. Petechiae might be an expression of ischemia during birth. The changes of the hemodynamics of the heart during birth, together with the rich vascularity of the conduction system, might predispose this area to hemorrhages. Hemorrhages into the conduction system may contribute to failure to survive the perinatal period.
