Obscure syncope and the sick sinus syndrome

J W Lister, A J Gosselin, P S Swaye

    Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case study highlights sick sinus syndrome (SSS) causing syncope in a young adult. Prolonged Holter monitoring was crucial for diagnosing this intermittent cardiac rhythm disturbance.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Syncope and near syncope in young adults can have unknown etiologies.
    • Standard in-hospital observation and electrophysiologic testing may not always identify the cause of intermittent symptoms.
    • Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) can present in younger populations, not exclusively the elderly.
