title: Reappearance of persistent normal sinus rhythm in a patient with the sick sinus syndrome following cardiac pacing for 10.5 years.
abstract: A patient with symptomatic sick sinus syndrome which manifested as a brady-tachy syndrome, was admitted to our institute in 1969. Following cardiac pacing for 10.5 years, the brady-tachy syndrome disappeared and normal sinus rhythm was restored. Her stable normal sinus rate has persisted up to the present, 2.5 years after termination of pacing.
