In sick sinus syndrome there is a malfunctioning sinus node. Several arrhythmias can result from this:
* Symptomatic slow sinusbradycardia in the absence of medication
* Symptomatic slow [[sinusbradycardia]] in the absence of medication
* Sinusarrest or exit block
* [[Sinusarrest]] or exit block
* Combinations of sinoatrial and atrioventricular conductions disturbances
* Combinations of sinoatrial and atrioventricular conductions disturbances
* Brady-tachycardia syndrome; typically there is sinusbradycardia, sinusarrest or SA-block which is alternated by periods with fast or (ir)regular atrial arrhythmias ([[#atrial fibrillation|atrial fibrillation]], [[#atrial flutter|atrial flutter]], [[#atrial tachycardia|atrial tachyardia]] or [[#sinustachycardia|sinustachycardia]]).
