Indications for Permanent Pacing in
Sinus Node Dysfunction
Class I:
■
Sinus node disfunction with documented symptomatic bradycardia. In
some patients this will occur as a consequence of long-term (essential)
drug therapy of a type and dose for which there are no acceptable
alternative.
Class II:
■
Sinus node dysfunction occurring spontaneously or as a result of
necessary drug therapy with heart rate < 40 bpm when a clear
association between symptoms consistent with the bradycardia and the
actual presence of bradycardia has not been documented.
Class III:
■
Sinus node dysfunction in asymptomatic patients, including those in
whom substantial sinus bradycardia (heart rate < 40 beats/minute) is a
consequence of long term treatment.
■
Sinus node dysfunction in patients in whom symptoms suggestive of
bradycardia are clearly documented not to be associated with a slow
heart rate.
