    Sinus node dysfunction (SND) presents a varied clinical spectrum with a generally good prognosis. However, brady-tachy syndrome patients face risks of systemic embolism, suggesting a need for anticoagulant therapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Sinus node dysfunction (SND) is a complex cardiac condition affecting heart rhythm.
    • Understanding the clinical spectrum and prognosis of SND is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, progression, and outcomes of patients with sinus node dysfunction.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities and identify risk factors for adverse events.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 128 patients with SND over a 6-year period.
    • Classification of patients into three groups based on ECG criteria: sinus bradycardia, sinoatrial block/sinus arrest, and brady-tachy syndrome.
    • Follow-up of 104 patients for approximately three years to assess outcomes, including mortality and embolic events.

    Main Results:

    • Symptom severity increased across the ECG groups.
    • Pacemaker treatment was required in 40% of patients; medical treatment was successful in 17%.
    • Systemic embolic events were predominantly observed in patients with brady-tachy syndrome, with nine cases identified.

    Conclusions:

    • SND has a broad clinical spectrum and a generally favorable prognosis, often with a slow or stationary course.
    • Brady-tachy syndrome is associated with a significant risk of systemic embolism, potentially leading to death or disability.
    • Long-term anticoagulant therapy is recommended for patients with brady-tachy syndrome to mitigate embolic risks.
