[The carotid sinus syndrome: problems and outlook]

Abstract

Electrocardiostimulator was implanted in 108 patients for the carotid sinus syndrome. In 38 observations ventricular stimulation was applied, in 19--the two-chamber one and in 51--the atrial. The syncope disappearance was observed while the DDD and AAI modes of stimulation. If the atrioventricular conduction disorder do not occur while doing transoesophageal stimulation of left atrium during the provocation tests the atrial stimulation is indicated.
