    Sinus node dysfunction (SND) is often detected in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. This condition frequently persists, requiring interventions like pacemakers and impacting patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can precipitate various cardiac arrhythmias.
    • Sinus node dysfunction (SND) is a recognized complication, though its persistence and long-term implications post-AMI require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and persistence of sinus node dysfunction (SND) in patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    • To assess the clinical manifestations, management, and outcomes associated with SND in this patient cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patients admitted for AMI over a six-year period.
    • Identification and classification of sinus node dysfunction subtypes (e.g., sinus bradycardia, sinoatrial block, sinus arrest, bradytachy syndrome).
    • Evaluation of patient symptoms, need for temporary and permanent pacing, mortality, and long-term follow-up of SND persistence.

    Main Results:

    • Sinus node dysfunction (SND) was detected in 1.04% of AMI patients.
    • Common presentations included persistent sinus bradycardia, sinoatrial block/sinus arrest, and bradytachy syndrome.
    • 17 patients experienced symptoms, with 12 requiring temporary pacing; 3 with bradytachy syndrome received permanent pacemakers.
    • Mortality occurred in 3 patients during initial admission and 6 during follow-up.
    • SND persisted in 11 of 19 patients at a mean follow-up of 34 months, causing symptoms in 5.

    Conclusions:

    • Sinus node dysfunction (SND) frequently develops during acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    • A significant proportion of these patients exhibit persistent SND, necessitating ongoing monitoring and management.
    • The findings underscore the importance of recognizing and managing SND post-AMI due to its potential for long-term sequelae.
