Temporary atrial pacing (AAI) was applied in 31 patients with sick sinus syndrome (S.S.S.), including 20 with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (t.b.s.). In all patients before pacemaker implantation atrioventricular conduction was estimated using rapid left atrial, transoseophegeal stimulation assuming Wenckebach's point over 120 imp./min to be a physiological one. In all cases, but one ventricular electrodes were implanted and connected with multiprogrammable pacemakers (MP). Follow-up time ranged from 3 to 38 months (mean 18,4). Electrode dislodgment was not observed. In 9 persons sensing disorders were observed but thanks to programming the pacemaker sensitivity they could be resolved almost in all of them. Second degree Mobitz type I a-v block occurred in 3 patients during a long-term follow-up. In one of them changing the pacing mode to VVI was necessary. In persons with tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome cardiac pacing together with pharmacologic therapy allowed to almost eliminate tachycardia attacks. Authors positively estimated AAI pacing mode.

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.
