Atrial Standstill
Sino-Auricular Heart Block

Presentation

Partial atrial standstill may be present and prevent atrial lead implantation in patients with sinus node disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Their clinical histories were very similar, first presented with symptoms of syncope in their early twenties and symptoms worsened with age. [heart.bmj.com]

  • Lymphocytic Infiltrate

    Talwar, et al. [8] reported a case series in which two of the patients had lymphocytic infiltrates on right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy. [indianpediatrics.net]

The importance of the examination of His bundle electrography in persistent atrial standstill and the diagnostic criteria and treatment of this lesion are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care by a qualified specialist and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or treatment. [orpha.net]

Prognosis

Thus, persistence of atrial standstill in asymptomatic cardiomyopathy is a sign of poor prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Oechslin EN, Jost CHA, Rojas JR, Kaufinann PA, Jenni R (2000) Long-term follow-up of 34 adults with isolated left ventricular noncompaction; a distinct cardiomyopathy with poor prognosis. [link.springer.com]

Symptomatic cases require ventricular pacing and treatment for congestive heart failure if present, however, the prognosis is poor. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Etiology

Etiologies described in the literature have included muscular dystrophy, familial amyloidosis, and rarely myocarditis. These etiologies usually lead to permanent atrial standstill and require ventricular pacing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Electrolyte disturbances, vasovagal reflexes from the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, and hypoxia have all been implicated as temporary etiological factors. [jamanetwork.com]

Pathophysiology

Abstract Persistent atrial standstill is a very rare pathophysiologic condition whose diagnosis is established when both electrical and mechanical silence of the atria are confirmed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiological hypotheses of atrial standstill, based on post-mortem examinations, include fibroelastosis and fatty infiltration of the atrial wall [10]. [cardiovascmed.ch]

[…] atrial systolic function, manifested by a characteristic transmitral Doppler spectral velocity profile, has previously been termed "atrial failure" 8 and has portended a poor outcome in patients with the primary form of the disease. 9 The underlying pathophysiologic [nejm.org]

There are few reports on the pathophysiology of atrial standstill. [academic.oup.com]

Partial atrial standstill may be present and prevent atrial lead implantation in patients with sinus node disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fibrosis prevents proper conduction and so ventricular contraction occurs in the form of escape beats, and thus the heart rate is slow. ECG examination usually reveals an absence of P waves and may show a widening of the QRS complex. [cal.vet.upenn.edu]

Hemodynamic collapse was prevented by pacing from the coronary sinus (Figure 2d). [innovationsincrm.com]
