Prompt and Long-term Prophylactic Effect of Closed Loop Stimulation against Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in a Patient with Sick Sinus Syndrome

A 72-year-old woman with sick sinus syndrome (SSS), who had frequent paroxysmal atrial fibrillations (PAfs) and normal cardiac function, was admitted to our hospital due to syncope. PAfs frequently occurred during the first week after DDD pacemaker implantation (PMI), with closed loop stimulation (CLS) rate-adaptive mode off, but were completely suppressed during the second week, with CLS on, and had been well-controlled over three years thereafter. However, PAfs occasionally occurred under intense sympathetic activity during 6 months after PMI as well, and were effectively terminated by disopyramide which had anticholinergic effect. Thus, the development and maintenance of PAf were thought to be associated with destabilized cardiac autonomic activities, that is, sympathetic and parasympathetic dominance, respectively. Additionally, heart rate variability analyses after implementation of CLS revealed the restoration of sympathetic and parasympathetic components. Accordingly, CLS mode was considered to play a critical role in preventing PAf by reflecting autonomic activity in heart rhythm in this SSS patient
