Symptomatic sinus node dysfunction is a common issue in heart transplant recipients, even without organ rejection. This case report highlights its occurrence and diagnostic findings in a post-transplant patient.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Transplantation Immunology
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Sinus node dysfunction is frequently observed in donor hearts post-transplantation, often detected via programmed electrical stimulation.
  • However, comprehensive data linking this dysfunction to specific patient symptoms remains limited.

Observation:

  • This case report details a heart transplant recipient who developed significant symptomatic sinus node dysfunction.
  • The dysfunction was accompanied by temporary atrial fibrillation, occurring 17 days post-transplantation, with no signs of donor heart rejection.

Findings:

  • Intracardiac electrophysiology testing confirmed sinus node dysfunction in the donor heart.
  • This dysfunction was specifically noted at relatively rapid atrial pacing rates.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of electrophysiological assessment for symptomatic sinus node dysfunction in heart transplant recipients.
  • Early identification and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of life after cardiac transplantation.
