Abstract

[Objective] To discuss the clinical value of atropine test on the suspected sick sinus syndrome(SSS) cases.[Method] Atropine test was performed in 97 patients with suspected SSS who had sinus bradycardia.Transesophageal atrial pacing(TAP) in the positive ones was used to confirm the diagnosis of SSS.[Results] Among the 97 cases,there were 78 whose fastest heart rates were less than 90 beats per minute.Positive rate was 80.4%.And according to the TAP,it was indicated that there were totally 70 SSS sufferers in those 78 cases.The percentage of conformity was 89.7%.[Conclusion] Atropine test is a simple method and it is better to choose the suspected SSS sufferers that have sinus bradycardia for atropine test so that to raise the percentage of diagnosis.
