CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score to assess risk of stroke and death in patients paced for
sick sinus syndrome. Heart 2013;99:843-8.
New insights into pacemaker activity: promoting understanding of
sick sinus syndrome. Circulation.
Sinus bradycardia (sinus rhythm of less than 60 bpm) can be normal in specific instances, but specific causes such as ischemic heart disease,
sick sinus syndrome, and noncardiac causes such as metabolic causes, medications, and toxins exist [1-4].

sick sinus syndrome," PLoS ONE, vol.
"When they told me I had
Sick Sinus Syndrome, I was still allowed to work as a firefighter," he said.
The
sick sinus syndrome is described as an abnormality in the formation of the electric impulse in the heart, preventing the correct natural pacemaker function of the sinus node.
Prof Zhang said: "Previously, we did not know why some people with
sick sinus syndrome would die suddenly, but now we do know why risk can increase at night during sleep.

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is caused by improper function of the sinoatrial (sinus) node, known as the "heart's pacemaker." The condition manifests as a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), slow heartbeat (bradycardia) or both.
Main indications for pacing were atrioventricular (AV) block,
sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and slow ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation in both periods.
He had gastroesophageal reflux, a funnel chest, lower limb fracture and
sick sinus syndrome as well as the characteristic developmental delay, neurological degeneration and growth retardation.
Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a group of conditions that occur when the sinus node doesn't work as well as it should.
The SCN5A gene governs the behavior of cardiac sodium ion channels, and mutations in the gene are known to cause long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome, ventricular fibrillation, congenital
sick sinus syndrome, and progressive cardiac conduction defect.
