  • Title: Symptomatic sinus bradycardia in infants with structurally normal hearts.
    Author: Rein AJ, Simcha A, Ludomirsky A, Appelbaum A, Uretzky G, Tamir I.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1985 Nov; 107(5):724-7. PubMed ID: 4056971.
    Abstract:
    Sixteen infants, ages 6 weeks to 23 months, were evaluated because of syncopal attacks (n = 6), apneic episodes (n = 3), or a combination of syncope, apnea, or "convulsions" (n = 7). Comprehensive metabolic and neurologic investigations yielded negative results in 15 infants; in one, an abnormal EEG was recorded. Severe sinus bradycardia, complete sinus arrest, junctional escape rhythm, or ventricular escape rhythm was found in four patients, and permanent multiprogrammable pacemakers were implanted. Follow-up for 6 to 24 months with ventricular demand pacing showed complete cessation of attacks in two infants and marked improvement in two.
