| pubmed-article:821425 | pubmed:abstractText | The authors report a case of Steinert's disease with disordered sino-atrial and atrio-ventricular conduction. The presence of sudden syncopal attacks and the absence of a cardiomyopathy (excluded by right- and leftsided haemodynamic studies and coronary arteriography) indicated the insertion of a definitive intra-cavitary pacemaker, especially as the life expectancy of this 54 year old patient did not seem to have been significantly reduced by his disease. | lld:pubmed |
