  2. 87 y.o. F. admitted for Change of Mental Status

  3. HPI • History obtained from EMS, patient lives alone, called 911 claiming that there were people walking through her walls. Vitals stable during transportation. • Patient knows it’s cooper and obama is president but thinks it’s 1996

  4. PMH • CKD (Baseline 1.4) • HTN • OA • Gout MEDS • Aricept • Allopurinol • celebrex • Catapres • asa • pentoxifylline • Tylenol-Codeine#3 • Metoprolol

  5. 96.6 44 139/67 16 97 • Drowsy, opens eyes to verbal stimuli • No ecchymosis or evidence of trauma • R eye cataract • Decr. BS bibasilar • HS reg, no murmurs • Abd Soft NTNDBS+ • LE: trace edema • AA, Ox1 (persons). Non focal exam

  6. “Oh and by the way she dropped her HR to the low 30’s once…”

  7. SpO2>98% 155/68 175/72

  8. Bradycardia • SSS • Increased Vagal Activity • Myocardial Ischemia • Increased Intracranial Pressure • Athletes • OSA • Meds (BB, CCB, Digoxin, AA) • Idiopathic Degeneration (Aging) • Others: Hypothy, hypothº, K, CVD, Amyloidosis, Sarc…

  9. CCU day#1: • Atropine 80 • Glucagon 60 • Cutaneous Patches • No indication for PPM at this time • Hallucinations resolved

  10. CCU day#2: HR reversed off metoprolol/clonidine/Aricept Will continue to observe May not need a PPM UTI: E coli susc. to levaquin Stable for Tx to PCU

  11. PCU day # 1: BP 138/96 HR 200 RR 22 97.6 Metoprolol 5 IVP HR 120

  12. PCU day # 2: Pt. is transferred to Medicine with EP consult

  13. Med day # 1: Atrial Chamber PM implant via L cephalic vein cut down without complication. Converted to sinus during procedure, suggest Sotalol to maintain in sinus.

  14. Discharge Meds • Sotalol 40 BID • Metoprolol 25 BID • …

  15. SSS – Lown (1967)

  16. SSS Patients with symptomatic SSS are primarily older, with frequent co morbid diseases and a high mortality rate. In three major trials of pacing in this disorder, the median or mean age was 73 to 76 years. Ventricular pacing or dual-chamber pacing for sinus-node dysfunction. Lamas GA; Lee KL; Sweeney MO; Silverman R; Leon A; Yee R; Marinchak RA; Flaker G; Schron E; Orav EJ; Hellkamp AS; Greer S; McAnulty J; Ellenbogen K; Ehlert F; Freedman RA; Estes NA 3rd; Greenspon A; Goldman. N Engl J Med 2002 Jun 13;346(24):1854-62. • Chronic, inappropriate, and often severe bradycardia • Sinus pauses, arrest, and exit block with and often without, appropriate atrial and junctional escape rhythms. • AV conduction disturbances in over 50 percent of patients • Alternating bradycardia and atrial tachyarrhythmias in over 50 percent of cases. AF is most common, but atrial flutter and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias may also occur.

  17. SSS - ETIOLOGY • Tachy-Brady Syndrome (50%) • Sinus Node Fibrosis • Disease of SA Nodal artery • Familial disease (rare – SCN5A, HCN4 mutations) • Other: Amyl, Hemochr, Scl, Pericarditis, Rheum fever, Diphteria, Chagas, Lyme, Hypothyroidism, Hypothermia, Muscular dystrophies… • Drugs: Parasympathomimetics sympatholytics (reserpine, guanethidine, methyldopa, clonidine, BB) Cimetidine Digoxin CCB Amiodarone …
