Pacing in atrial arrhythmias. 1990

R Sutton
Westminster Hospital, London, United Kingdom.

The history of pacing to control the atrial arrhythmias of sinoatrial node disease (SND) is reviewed and is demonstrated to have become more physiological in recent years. The importance of atrial stimulation is emphasized especially in the context of the natural history of SND. The role of single and dual chamber rate responsive pacing for correction of chronotropic incompetence is outlined and guidelines are proposed for the management of the different types of SND presentation.

D001145 Arrhythmias, Cardiac Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction. Arrhythmia,Arrythmia,Cardiac Arrhythmia,Cardiac Arrhythmias,Cardiac Dysrhythmia,Arrhythmia, Cardiac,Dysrhythmia, Cardiac
D012849 Sinoatrial Node The small mass of modified cardiac muscle fibers located at the junction of the superior vena cava (VENA CAVA, SUPERIOR) and right atrium. Contraction impulses probably start in this node, spread over the atrium (HEART ATRIUM) and are then transmitted by the atrioventricular bundle (BUNDLE OF HIS) to the ventricle (HEART VENTRICLE).
