Chronic sinus node disease: natural course and indications for pacing
Abstract
The natural history of sinus node disease has been analysed from reported as well as original data. Because of the widespread use of pacemakers in sinus node disease the perfect study of its true prognosis will probably never be made. Nevertheless, available data strongly indicate that the outlook for identified patients with the disorder who do not have sever symptoms is favorable. Even for the severely symptomatic group, the prognosis seems to be much better than in atrioventricular conduction disease. Pacemaker implantations in this condition should therefore, in general, be restricted to the symptomatic patient in whom the symptoms have been shown to coincide with bradycardia. International differences in the extent of pacing use have been analysed from current statistics. It is concluded that different attitudes to pacing in sinus node disease account for a substantial part of these differences

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
