Alternate Names : Bradycardia-Tachycardia Syndrome


Sick Sinus Syndrome Treatment

If the disorder is without symptoms, no treatment is necessary. Medications that worsen symptoms should be stopped.

A permanent implanted pacemaker may be necessary when it has been established that the symptoms are related to bradycardia (slow heart rate).

Any associated tachycardia (a fast heart rate) may be treated with medications after the person is protected from symptomatic bradycardia by a pacemaker.
