    This study reports on sinus node (SN) echoes, a phenomenon potentially caused by atrial pacing (APD). These echoes were identified in five patients and could trigger or occur spontaneously during reciprocating tachycardia.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology
    • Cardiac Pacing

    Background:

    • Sinus node (SN) echoes are uncommon electrophysiological events.
    • Atrial pacing (APD) is a technique used to study cardiac conduction.
    • Understanding SN echoes is crucial for diagnosing and managing certain arrhythmias.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report and characterize sinus node (SN) echoes in a series of patients.
    • To investigate the potential role of atrial pacing (APD) in producing SN echoes.
    • To describe the diagnostic criteria and clinical implications of SN echoes.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series involving five patients with suspected SN echoes.
    • Utilized atrial pacing (APD) at a basic rate to measure the sinus node effective refractory period (SEI).

  • Diagnosed SN echoes based on specific electrophysiological criteria, including A1A3 interval, P-wave morphology, atrial activation sequence, and absence of AV nodal or His-Purkinje system delay.

    • Main Results:

    • SN echoes were identified in five patients using APD.
    • Specific diagnostic criteria were met for SN echoes.
    • In one patient, SN echoes were associated with spontaneous and inducible reciprocating tachycardia.
    • Tachycardia episodes were terminated by single APD or atrial pacing.

    Conclusions:

    • Sinus node (SN) echoes can be produced by atrial pacing (APD).
    • SN echoes may be implicated in the pathophysiology of reciprocating tachycardia.
    • Atrial pacing and termination of tachycardia highlight the role of SN echoes in arrhythmia generation.
