    Summary

    Temporary atrial pacing (AAI) effectively managed sick sinus syndrome (SSS), including tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome. Pacemakers showed good reliability, with minor sensing issues resolved through programming, offering a positive outlook for AAI pacing.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a common cause of bradycardia.
    • Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (t.b.s.) presents a complex management challenge.
    • Atrial pacing is a potential treatment for SSS.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of temporary atrial pacing (AAI) in patients with SSS.
    • To assess the impact of AAI pacing on tachycardia episodes in patients with t.b.s.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-one patients with SSS, 20 with t.b.s., received temporary AAI pacing.
    • Atrioventricular conduction was assessed via transesophageal stimulation.
    • Multiprogrammable pacemakers (MP) with ventricular electrodes were used.

  • Follow-up ranged from 3 to 38 months.

    • Main Results:

    • No electrode dislodgment occurred.
    • Sensing disorders in 9 patients were resolved by programming pacemaker sensitivity.
    • Three patients developed second-degree Mobitz type I atrioventricular block, necessitating a switch to VVI pacing in one case.
    • Cardiac pacing combined with pharmacologic therapy significantly reduced tachycardia attacks in t.b.s. patients.

    Conclusions:

    • AAI pacing is a positively estimated mode for managing SSS.
    • Multiprogrammable pacemakers offer flexibility in managing pacing parameters.
    • Careful monitoring is needed for potential atrioventricular conduction disturbances.
