Sick Sinus Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Sinus node dysfunction syndrome, or sinus node dysfunction, occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker does not generate electrical impulses at the proper rhythm. This can translate into heartbeats that are too slow, irregular, or with pauses.
Common symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, a feeling of fainting, palpitations, or shortness of breath, although at times it goes unnoticed.
When to see a doctor? If you experience dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeats, it is reasonable to seek a heart evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the professional who studies alterations of heart rhythm; in children the pediatric cardiologist takes part, and the cardiovascular surgeon may intervene depending on the case. Addressing heart symptoms in time helps to take care of your health.
