Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of the contribution of atrial contraction to left ventricular filling, its determinants and relationship with early diastolic filling was studied in 20 patients with sick sinus syndrome without structural heart disease on AAI pacing over a wide range of physiological atrioventricular delays (PR intervals). The results were compared with 20 normal controls matched for age, sex and heart rate. Left ventricular filling pattern, and the contribution of left atrial contraction to diastolic filling, were similar in the two groups. AAI pacing restores the physiological dynamics of left ventricular filling in patients with sick sinus syndrome without organic heart disease.

D012804 Sick Sinus Syndrome A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the SINOATRIAL NODE including impulse generation (CARDIAC SINUS ARREST) and impulse conduction (SINOATRIAL EXIT BLOCK). It is characterized by persistent BRADYCARDIA, chronic ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following CARDIOVERSION. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.
