Sick sinus syndrome is the name for heart rhythm problems that happen because your sinus node doesn’t work right. According to doctors, the sinus node acts like a pacemaker that kicks off each ...

The sinus node may fail to send out signals quickly enough, for example. As a result, your heart cannot beat fast enough to supply your body with fresh blood and oxygen.

Adaptive pacing at a 60 bpm base rate did not reduce atrial fibrillation risk in patients with sinus node dysfunction but did reduce the incidence of syncope or presyncope vs. a 40 bpm base rate ...

Sick sinus syndrome, also called sinus node dysfunction, describes a group of disorders in which the sinoatrial (SA) node – the heart’s natural pacemaker – malfunctions.
