Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS) / Sinus Node Dysfunction ◾Cause: Faulty SA node. ◾ECG Signs: Bradycardia, sinus pauses, junctional escape rhythms, Tachy-Brady pattern. ◾Management: Pacemaker (for bradycardia) is cornerstone. Rate control for tachycardias (e.g., AFib). #Electrophysiology#MedEd #Cardiology#ECG | Abdallah Othman

Sinus bradycardia: (<60 bpm) is often benign but may signal SA node dysfunction, medications, or post-viral autonomic issues (JACC, 2024). 💡 Share your approach to complex cases! #Cardiology #SinusBradycardia #Electrophysiology | Abdallah Othman

Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS), or sinus node dysfunction (SND) ⚡This ECG visual highlights SSS-related rhythms: Sinus Bradycardia/Tachycardia, Sinus Pauses/Arrest, Exit Blocks, AFib, MAT, Junctional Escape, and more (e.g., AVNRT, AVRT if accessory pathways exist, ectopic atrial rhythms). Tachy-Brady Syndrome is common, with tachyarrhythmias predominating in most patients. Manage with pacemakers for bradyarrhythmias & rate control for tachycardias. #Cardiology #Electrophysiology #SickSinusSyndrome #E

🎯 Sick Sinus Syndrome,decoded. 💡 The sinus node fails, causing: ✅Too slow (Bradycardia, Pauses) ✅Too fast (Tachycardia, AFib, MAT) ✅And often, both in alternation (Tachy-Brady) The fix? (Pacemaker) for the slow, and meds/ablation for the fast.

#hearthealth #heartdisease Sick Sinus Syndrome The heart is a muscle that needs an electrical current to make it contract. That electrical current is generated and conducted around the heart from an area at the top of the heart called the Sino-atrial node. The Sino-atrial node therefore is the heart’s pacemaker. The pacemaker’s job is to generate a heart rate commensurate with the physiological needs of the body at any given time. When this god-given pacemaker starts malfunctioning, and is there
