Abstract

Kearns-Sayre syndrome is the triad of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, and complete AV block. The etiology is unknown, but is thought to be due to a mitochondrial DNA deletion. Reported electrocardiographic abnormalities include first-degree AV block, fascicular blocks, and complete heart block, as well as non-specific S-T segment changes and T wave abnormalities, but has not included sinus node dysfunction. We report a case with episodes of sinus arrest in an asymptomatic patient with Kearns-Sayre syndrome resulting in pauses lasting up to 6 seconds.

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.
