Context:
- Study observed 20 patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS) between 1976 and 1979.
- Patients were admitted to a Coronary Care Unit.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of Sick Sinus Syndrome.
- To present findings from a cohort of SSS patients.
Summary:
- Electrophysiological studies were performed on all 20 patients.
- 16 patients were treated with permanent pacemakers (PMK).
- 4 patients received medical therapy.
Impact:
