Abstract
There is growing awareness of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and related arrhythmias as treatable causes of epilepsy, syncope, dizziness, confusion and some psychoses, as well as non-neurological symptoms such as episodic congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema and palpitations. Six cases are presented which occurred in family practice in a period of 18 months; four required ventricular pacing, one declined and one is asymptomatic.
