title: [Clinical significance of a prolonged sinus-node recovery time as the only pathological finding: follow-up].
abstract: The Authors report their experience related to clinical follow-up (F.U.) study of a 12 patients group who showed a prolonged sinus node recovery time (SNRT) as the only pathologic datum. F.U. study appears extremely useful for clinical arrangement of these patients. In 6 patients a gastric ulcer was associated, which is considered a morbid equivalent of vagotonia. Therefore SNRT could be a false positive. In 3 patients following controls allow to document an initial ischemic cardiopathy. Tachicardic phase of S.S.S. was documented in 3 patients.
