Abstract

Clinico-electrocardiographic studies were carried out in 74 patients with the sick sinus syndrome. The functional tests were used to evaluate the condition of the sinoauricular node (with physical exercise, and dosaged compression of the sinocarotid area). Five variants of the clinical course of the sick sinus syndrome have been distinguished: latent; manifested; the syndrome of bradycardia-tachycardia; the syndrome of sinus bradycardia-auricular bradyfibrillation; constant auricular fibrillation refractor to the treatment including electro-impulse therapy. The functional tests have revealed more pronounced shifts in the P--P interval of patients with the sick sinus syndrome as compared to those in healthy subjects.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
