Objective:To discuss incidence,clinical significance and result of bradycardic dysfunction of sinoatrial node in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction(AMI).
Methods 9 patients with hyperthyroidism were performed thyroid function test,electrocardioagram,holter monitor ECG and the sinoatrial node function test.They are treated with the tapazole.
One important effect of the premature depolarization is that the ectopic focus will depolarize the cells of the SA node, causing the SA node to skip a cycle.
Now, if we measure out the interval between each SA node fire, we see that it should have fired here, but it doesn't because it was depolarized by the ectopic focus.
So, if we simplify this heart a little bit, normally, the sinoatrial node or SA node sends an electrical signal that propagates out through the walls of the heart and contracts both upper chambers.
