Familial sick sinus syndrome with atrioventricular conduction disturbance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, myocyte necrosis and interstitial fibrosis suggestive of myocardial disease.

Benefits of dual chamber pacing in sick sinus syndrome.
The effects of DDD (fully automatic) and VVI (ventricular demand) pacing modes on exercise tolerance, symptom diary cards, and Holter monitoring were investigated in a randomised double blind crossover study of 16 patients who had had DDD pacemakers implanted because of frequent syncope. Eight patients presented with sick sinus syndrome and, with one exception, retrograde atrioventricular condu...
متن کاملSummary Impairment of Septal Uptake and Washout on 123I-BMIPP Myocardial SPECT after Pacemaker Implantation: Report of Two Cases
Case 1 involved a 62-year-old woman with complete atrioventricular block and case 2 involved a 70year-old woman with sick sinus syndrome. In both cases, echocardiography, 123I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3R,S-methyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) and 99mTctetrofosmin myocardial single photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) findings were normal. Coronary arteriography and left ventriculography also reve...
متن کاملThe relationship between sinoatrial conduction time and sinus cycle length during spontaneous sinus arrhythmia in adults.
It is well known that atrioventricular conduction varies as a function of atrial rate. However, rate related changes in sinoatrial conduction time (SACT) have not been examined. To determine the relationship between SACT and sinoatrial cycle length (SCL) in man, atrial and His bundle electrograms were recorded during atrial premature stimulation in each of nineteen patients with sinus arrhythmi...
متن کاملAtrioventricular conduction during long-term follow-up of patients with sick sinus syndrome.
BACKGROUND It has been claimed that patients with sick sinus syndrome have an increased risk of developing AV block, but this has never been assessed prospectively. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in a prospective trial AV conduction during the long-term follow-up of patients with sick sinus syndrome. METHODS Two hundred twenty-five consecutive patients with sick sinus syndrome a...
متن کاملSyncope secondary to second-degree atrioventricular block with donepezil use.
Donepezil, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia secondary to Alzheimer's disease. Although most prescribers are aware of the common gastrointestinal side effects of donepezil, cardiovascular side effects are rarely observed. Cardiovascular side effects of donepezil have almost always been observed in patients with a history of conduction ...
