In a retrospective study of patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during six years, sinus node dysfunction (SND) was detected in 20 (1.04%). Twelve had persistent sinus bradycardia, 11 sinotrial block or sinus arrest and six bradytachy syndrome. Symptoms occurred in 17 patients, 12 of whom required temporary pacing for periods up to three weeks. A permanent cardiac pacemaker was implanted in three patients with brady-tachy syndrome. Three patients died during the primary admission and six during the observation period. Follow-up after a mean observation period of 34 months showed continuous signs of SND in 11 out of 19 patients. The arrhythmia caused symptoms in five patients, two of whom had a cardiac pacemaker and two received medical treatment. It is concluded that SND appearing during an AMI persists in a high number of these patients.
