* <b>Sinus node disease:</b> Pacemaker implantation should be considered in patients with sinus node disease which manifests as symptomatic bradycardia in which the symptom-rhythm correlation must have been 1) spontaneously occurring or 2) drug-induced where alternative drug therapy is lacking. Furthermore other eligible candidates for permanent pacing are patients with syncope with sinus node disease, either spontaneously occurring or induced at electrophysiological study and sinus node disease manifests as symptomatic chronotropic incompetence which is 1) spontaneously occurring or 2) drug-induced where alternative drug therapy. | * <b>Sinus node disease:</b> Pacemaker implantation should be considered in patients with sinus node disease which manifests as symptomatic bradycardia in which the symptom-rhythm correlation must have been 1) spontaneously occurring or 2) drug-induced where alternative drug therapy is lacking.

Patients with sinus node disease without symptoms including use of bradycardia-provoking drugs, ECG findings of sinus node dysfunction with symptoms not due directly or indirectly to bradycardia or symptomatic sinus node dysfunction where symptoms can reliably be attributed to non-essential medication do not have an indication for permanent pacemaker therapy. | Patients with sinus node disease without symptoms including use of bradycardia-provoking drugs, ECG findings of sinus node dysfunction with symptoms not due directly or indirectly to bradycardia or symptomatic sinus node dysfunction where symptoms can reliably be attributed to non-essential medication do not have an indication for permanent pacemaker therapy. | ||
