Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Right versus left atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Riverleft study) [PDF]
_Background:_ The incidence of sick sinus syndrome will increase due to population ageing. Consequently, this will result in an increase in the number of pacemaker implantations.

Holter monitoring in patients with transient and focal ischemic attacks of the brain [PDF]
The results of Holter monitoring in 100 patients with transient and focal cerebral ischemia were studied retrospectively. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was found in five patients compared with two from a group of 100 age and sex-matched control patients. Four

Prolonged PR interval, first-degree heart block and adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcomes. This study

Brugada syndrome presenting as atrial flutter with sick sinus syndrome
An incidentally diagnosed patient with Brugada syndrome was found to have atrial flutter on baseline electrocardiogram. He was DC (Direct current) cardioverted which revealed sick sinus syndrome.

Genetics of Sick Sinus Syndrome [PDF]
The sinoatrial node exhibits complex cellular and molecular structure and its proper function requires an intricate arrangement of its architecture. A better understanding of the genetic and molecular makeup of the sinoatrial node has led to improved understanding of its function as primary cardiac pacemaker and the abnormalities that may lead to sick ...

Sick Sinus Syndrome and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Background. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is associated with increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and bradyarrhythmias. However, sinus node dysfunction is relatively infrequent in the setting of takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Case Report.

Positive chronotropic effects of theophylline and cilostazol in patients with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome who have declined permanent pacing [PDF]
Pacemakers are more commonly recommended than theophylline for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) treatment. The positive effects of cilostazol on bradyarrhythmias also have been reported.
