Implication

AAI pacing may support symptomatic relief in selected sick sinus syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does atrial demand pacing in AAI mode provide safe and effective symptomatic relief in patients with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome?

P
Population
22 well-selected patients with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome (SSS)
I
Intervention
Atrial demand pacing in AAI mode
O
Outcome
Clinical course including survival, development of congestive heart failure, high degree AV block, atrial fibrillation, and symptomatic relief

Single chamber atrial demand pacing (AAI) is a safe, reliable, and effective modality for symptomatic relief in selected patients with sick sinus syndrome, without significant risk of high degree AV block.
