A case of sick sinus syndrome with mirror-image dextrocardia which was associated with bilateral superior vena cava and an absent inferior vena cava with azygos continuation is reported. A 45-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with the chief complaints of dizziness and palpitation. The electrocardiogram showed a atrial fibrillation with a 4-second period of asystole. A permanent endocardial bipolar demand pacemaker was inserted through the left superior vena cava. Since anomaly of venous system is commonly associated with mirror-image dextrocardia, the angiogram is necessary prior to permanent pacemaker implantation.

D003914 Dextrocardia A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the THORAX instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position). When dextrocardia is accompanied with inverted HEART ATRIA, a right-sided STOMACH, and a left-sided LIVER, the combination is called dextrocardia with SITUS INVERSUS. Dextrocardia may adversely affect other thoracic organs. Dextrocardias

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.
