The sick sinus syndrome is being recognized with increasing frequency in children. Although it is sometimes benign, it can be serious or have fatal consequences. Fifty-one patients (mean age 10.5 years) underwent permanent cardiac pacing for sick sinus syndrome. Twenty patients had epicardial ventricular pacing and 12 had an epicardial atrial implant. Seven had endocardial atrial pacing, six epicardial atrioventricular (AV) sequential pacing, four epicardial universal pacing and two endocardial universal pacing. Of the 49 symptomatic patients, 45 had relief of symptoms. Eleven of 18 patients with associated tachyarrhythmias had amelioration of their tachycardia. There were no early but two late deaths unrelated to the pacemakers. Seven patients during a mean follow-up period of 26 months required reoperation for pacing lead or sensing problems. Permanent pacing for sick sinus syndrome in children is a safe and symptomatically effective procedure.
