Overview
Sick sinus syndrome occurs as an improperly propagated signal from the sinoatrial (SA) node. Age-dependent progressive fibrosis of the sinus nodal tissue and Remodeling of sinuatrial node are the potential mechanisms of this abnormally formed signal propagation. MYH6 gene may also be involved in the pathogenesis of this condition.
Pathophysiology
- Sick sinus syndrome occurs as the result of age-dependent progressive fibrosis of the sinus nodal tissue and atrial myocardium. This leads to abnormal formation and propagation of atrial impulse and the resultant bradycardic or pause-related syndromes.[1][2]
- Studies on familial and congenital presentations of sick sinus syndrome have also revealed genetic contributions to dysfunctional ion channels.[3]
- Remodeling of sinuatrial node as a result of heart failure and atrial fibrillation can also be causes of increased sinus node recovery time, abnormal propagation of the action potential from the node and changes in nodal sensitivity.[4][5]
Genetic
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of sick sinus syndrome include:[6]
- MYH6 gene:recent research has shown a higher incidence of SSS in carriers of a rare variant of the MYH6 gene, which encodes the alpha heavy chain subunit of cardiac myosin.
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with sick sinus syndrome include:[2][7]
