*This syndrome occurs when the conduction travels from the SA node and then completely bypasses the AV
 
node and travels to the bundle of His or the ventricles.

Sino-Atrial Block

Atrio-Ventricular Block



Atrial Standstill

Bundle Branch Block

Ventricular Preexcitation Syndrome


Sick Sinus Syndrome

  • This is a blanket term used to describe multiple abnormalities of the SA node involving impulse formation and conduction disturbances.


Causes

Myocardial diseases, idiopathic, breed predispositions (e.g. miniature schnauzer)


ECG: Variable depending on the specific SA abnormality


Treatment

Surgical implantation of a pacemaker; +/- antiarrhythmic treatments
