What is sinoatrial node dysfunction?

Sinus node dysfunction, previously known as sick sinus syndrome, describes disorders related to abnormal conduction and propagation of electrical impulses at the sinoatrial node. An abnormal atrial rate may result in the inability to meet physiologic demands, especially during periods of stress or physical activity.

What is AV node dysfunction?

Disorders of the AV node can cause cardiac arrhythmias, in which the heart can beat either too slowly (bradycardia) or too rapidly (tachycardia).

What is the most common cause of bradycardia?

Causes for bradycardia include: Problems with the sinoatrial (SA) node, sometimes called the heart's natural pacemaker. Problems in the conduction pathways of the heart that don't allow electrical impulses to pass properly from the atria to the ventricles. Metabolic problems such as hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone)

How do you fix bradycardia?

Bradycardia treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication changes or an implanted device called a pacemaker. If an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or sleep apnea, is causing the slow heart rate, treatment of that condition might correct bradycardia.

When does bradycardia require treatment?

Patients with imminent heart failure or unstable patients with bradycardia need immediate treatment. The drug of choice is usually atropine 0.5–1.0 mg given intravenously at intervals of 3 to 5 minutes, up to a dose of 0.04 mg/kg. Other emergency drugs that may be given include adrenaline (epinephrine) and dopamine.

Bradycardia, also known as bradyarrhythmia, is a slow heart rate, defined as a heart rate of under 60 beats per minute (BPM) in adults. Bradycardia typically does not cause symptoms until the rate drops below 50 BPM. When symptomatic, it may cause fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and at very low rates fainting.

A constellation of signs and symptoms which may include syncope, fatigue, dizziness, and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia, which is caused by sinoatrial node dysfunction.
