Life Expectancy For Sick Sinus Syndrome Patients
Life expectancy for sick sinus syndrome patients. Sick Sinus Syndrome by jimmy412 - 2009-08-29 120820 I am 43 I was diagnosed with it in June and got a pacemaker in July. But most cases of SSS occur in people over age 70 because aging tends to slow the heart rate and lower SA node function. 1 In one study of patients.
After 10 years we found a survival rate of 545 for patients paced for SSS 344 for those with complete heart block and 247 for those with atrial fibrillation statistical significance. Patients whose awake ECG at NCSU did not fit the diagnostic criteria of SSSSND ie. Fifteen patients 42 died during the follow-up period of 6 to 59 months mean 25 months.
Sick sinus syndrome can involve abnormally slow heart rates abnormally fast heart rates or alternating fast and slow heart rates known as tachy-brady syndrome Sick sinus syndrome usually affects older adults with an average age of 68 years. One in 600 cardiac patients older than 65 years has this syndrome. P less than 005.
I n 39 patients mean age 66 years treated for sick sinus syndrome SSS with pacemaker insertion the long-term prognosis was studied. The cumulative survival rate was 85 for 5 years and 61 for 10 years. Median life expectancy after PM implant 85 years with 44 still alive at 10 years and 21 making it to 20 years post implant.
Sick sinus syndrome affects one in every 600 cardiac patients 65 years or older. In our study 29 patients 284 died corresponding to an annual mortality rate of 129 with a mean time to death of 598 days post-implantation. The use of a cardiac pacemaker is primarily to alleviate symptoms and does not affect the overall mortality rating of the cardiac patients 5.
We studied the survival rate of 1049 patients with complete heart block 592 with sick sinus syndrome and 447 with atrial fibrillation. I was told by a good friend that is a nurse that you need to get Sick Sinus Syndrome taken care of. We conclude that atrial pacing could be done in patients with sick sinus syndrome.
We studied the survival rate of 1049 patients with complete heart block 592 with sick sinus syndrome and 447 with atrial fibrillation. The sinus node acts as the pacemaker of the heart.
A total of 2010 patients with a median age of 74 years were included.
Sick sinus syndrome SSS is a general term for a group of disorders caused by a malfunctioning sinus node. Fifteen patients 42 died during the follow-up period of 6 to 59 months mean 25 months. Median life expectancy after PM implant 85 years with 44 still alive at 10 years and 21 making it to 20 years post implant. But most cases of SSS occur in people over age 70 because aging tends to slow the heart rate and lower SA node function. We studied the survival rate of 1049 patients with complete heart block 592 with sick sinus syndrome and 447 with atrial fibrillation. Inflammatory conditions that can involve the heart such as rheumatic fever pericarditis Chagas disease or myocarditis. Patients whose awake ECG at NCSU did not fit the diagnostic criteria of SSSSND ie. The risk of developing a complete atrioventricular block seems to be rather low. I was told by a good friend that is a nurse that you need to get Sick Sinus Syndrome taken care of.
After 10 years we found a survival rate of 545 for patients paced for SSS 344 for those with complete heart block and 247 for those with atrial fibrillation statistical significance. Patients usually succumbs with their underlying cardiac disease rather than with the nodal dysfunction. In a substudy of MOST the 3-year mortality of. P less than 001. Sick sinus syndrome can involve abnormally slow heart rates abnormally fast heart rates or alternating fast and slow heart rates known as tachy-brady syndrome Sick sinus syndrome usually affects older adults with an average age of 68 years. No obvious sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest. Median life expectancy after PM implant 85 years with 44 still alive at 10 years and 21 making it to 20 years post implant.
