* 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]]). | * 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]]). | ||
Usually a [[pacemaker]] is implanted to prevent bradycardia and tachycardias are 'topped off' with anti-arrhythmics, such as beta blockers. | |||
