[Validity of the radiofrequency programmed stimulation in the treatment of the sick sinus syndrome. (author's transl)]. 1979

E Adornato, and V Iuri

It is presented a patient sick sinus syndrome with the periods of the sinus bradycardia and of the superventricular tachycardia, treated with the implanted of a permanent ventricular inhibited pacemaker and a passive radio- receiver connected with a ventricular electrocatheter. The tachycardia was interrupted by ventricular way with a discharge of beaths high frequency, utilizing a radiofrequency device connected with a exterior programmed stimulation. It is solicited a more large employment of the radiofrequency stimulation's system in the relapsing and persistent tachycardia, alternately with the pharmacologyc therapy and the DC shock.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D001919	Bradycardia	Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK.	Bradyarrhythmia,Bradyarrhythmias,Bradycardias

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.

D013610	Tachycardia	Abnormally rapid heartbeat, usually with a HEART RATE above 100 beats per minute for adults. Tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization (cardiac arrhythmia) is called tachyarrhythmia.	Tachyarrhythmia,Tachyarrhythmias,Tachycardias
