Sinoatrial Block

Disturbance in the atrial activation that is caused by transient failure of impulse conduction from the SINOATRIAL NODE to the HEART ATRIA. It is characterized by a delayed in heartbeat and pauses between P waves in an ELECTROCARDIOGRAM.

" 09/01/2004 - "Among the 4,150 receiving prophylactic lidocaine, sinoatrial block occurred in 0.5% and complete infranodal atrial ventricular block occurred in 0.2%, all secondary to the site of infarction (concurrent serum lidocaine levels were < 4 microg/ml). " 11/01/1981 - "Procaine (10-300 micrograms) had similar negative chronotropic and inotropic effects and induced sinoatrial block in 7 of 57 experiments, but unlike lidocaine, procaine produced positive chronotropic and inotropic effects following the initial negative responses in 16 of 57 experiments.

" 11/01/1988 - "[Sinoatrial block induced by oral diltiazem]." 01/01/1986 - "One should note that diltiazem induces not only sinus node suppression and atrioventricular conduction disturbance, but also sinoatrial block." 01/01/1986 - "After discontinuation of diltiazem, an ambulatory ECG demonstrated gradual reduction of the occurrence of sinoatrial block, and no recurrence 8 hours after the last dose of the drug. " 01/01/1986 - "Sinoatrial block induced by oral diltiazem."
5.	Atropine (Hyoscyamine)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/1981 - "The patient showed S-A conduction disturbances (Mobitz 1 sinoatrial exit block) as noted in two sequential 24-hour recording periods, and a pathologic response to atropine test. " 12/01/1982 - "Patients having either or both of the following anomalies are used: 1) persistent sinus bradycardia (sinus cycle length greater than 1000 msec), or documented episodes of sinoatrial block or arrest and/or 2) maximum corrected SN recovery time of longer than 525 msec before and after atropine. " 10/01/1983 - "An atropine resistant bradycardia was characteristic (HR = 65 +/- 17.2/min) due to advanced or complete AV block (11 cases), sinoatrial block (3 cases, one with right atrial standstill) or sinus/parasinus rhythm (13 cases) inappropriate to the severity of their hemodynamic state. " 01/01/1994 - "Three types of arrhythmia may confirm our positive diagnostic criteria: sinoatrial block in patients with a sinus node recovery time greater than 1,000 ms uninfluenced by atropine atrioventricular block in patients with distal conduction defects during sustained atrial pacing, if necessary after injection of ajmaline: ventricular tachycardia in patients sustained monomorphic VT induced by 2 or 3 extrastimuli.

" 02/20/1990 - "In some patients with sinus node dysfunction, moricizine produced sinus bradycardia, increased sinus node recovery time, and produced second-degree or complete sinoatrial block."

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Massage (Reflexology) 08/07/1994 - "In 39 patients (76%) sinoatrial block, in 12 patients (24%) A-H block was found during carotid sinus massage. " 09/01/1988 - "In a clinical case of 2:1 sinoatrial block, carotid massage, paradoxically, released the sinoatrial block and doubled the manifest sinus rate. " 06/01/1985 - "It is concluded that the application of carotid sinus massage in patients with the hypersensitive carotid sinus syndrome produces profound changes in sinoatrial conduction including sinoatrial exit block, as well as shifts in primary pacemaker site and sinus node arrest. " 06/01/1985 - "After the onset of carotid sinus massage, prolongation of sinoatrial time, slowing of sinus rate of depolarization, sinoatrial exit block and finally sinus node arrest were recorded. "
2.	Electrodes (Electrode) 12/01/1982 - "Ouabain administration resulted in: (1) an increase in the sinus cycle lengths and sinoatrial intervals and increase in beat-to-beat variation of the sinus cycles and sinoatrial intervals, and (2) periods of sinus pacemaker shift, sinus arrest and sinoatrial block that occurred spontaneously or after atrial overdrive stimulation delivered through the electrode on the left atrial appendage.
