Sodium channelopathy underlying familial sick sinus syndrome with early onset and predominantly male characteristics.
BACKGROUND Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a common arrhythmia often associated with aging or organic heart diseases but may also occur in a familial form with a variable mode of inheritance. Despite the identification of causative genes, including cardiac Na channel (SCN5A), the pathogenesis and molecular epidemiology of familial SSS remain undetermined primarily because of its rarity. METHODS ...
متن کاملFamilial sick sinus syndrome with atrioventricular conduction disturbance.
A family with sick sinus syndrome is presented: a mother and her 2 daughters affected with sinus node dysfunction. Electrophysiological studies revealed abnormal atrioventricular conduction in the 2 daughters. All 3 individuals were implanted with a permanent pacemaker to relieve their symptoms. Endomyocardial biopsy from the right ventricle of one daughter showed disarrangement, degeneration, ...

Background. The goal of the report was to study the long-term incidence and the independent predictors for chronic atrial fibrillation and stroke in 507 paced patients with sick sinus syndrome, adjusting for differences in baseline clinical variables with multivariate analysis. Methods and Results. From 1980 to 1989, we implanted 376 dual-chamber, 19 atrial, and 112 ventricular pacemakers to tr...

1. a. SSS b. SA block c. SA arrest Sick sinus syndrome is a disorder characterized by a dysfunctional sinus node. It is often idiopathic and a result of degenerative fibrosis of nodal tissue. Certain disorders such as amyloidosis, connective tissue disease, Chagas disease, and hemochromatosis are examples of intrinsic causes. Hypertensive heart disease and cardiomyopathies account for a smaller...
متن کاملIatrogenic sick sinus syndrome.
A 50-year-old university professor originally from South America had a 3-day history of paroxysmal attacks of rapid palpitations accompanied by near syncope and followed by transient flushing of her head and neck. She had a history of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis due to rheumatic fever at age 15, for which successful mitral commissurotomy was performed at age 36. Subsequently, recurrent atta...
