  • Title: Cardiac pacing in a patient with diaphragm pacing for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's curse).
    Author: Kolb C, Eicken A, Zrenner B, Schmitt C.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol; 2006 Jul; 17(7):789-91. PubMed ID: 16836681.
    Abstract:
    Mechanical ventilation support and diaphragm pacing has improved the prognosis of patients with idiopathic congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS; Ondine's curse). However, severe bradyarrhythmias may occur. This report is about a patient who was supplied with a bilateral diaphragm pacing system at early childhood. At the age of 17 years, he experienced multiple syncopes due to sinus nodal arrest, which was successfully treated by the implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker.
