Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare anomaly that can appear in adult uncommonly. Especially sick sinus syndrome with bronchoesophageal fistula is very uncommon.The patient was 53 years old male who admitted for chronic coughing recurrent lobar pneumonia on RLL since few years ago. And he had familial history of sick sinus syndrome.We confirmed the fistula by barium swallow examination and performed ligation of the fistula and pacemaker implantation.

The sick sinus syndrome refers to a combination of symptoms (dizziness, confusion, fatigue, syncope, and congestive heart failure) caused by sinus node dysfunction and marked sinus bradycardia, sinoarterial block, or sinus arrest. 'Abdominal pulsation' means a disagreeable symptom that is defined as sensation of beating at the abdomen. We experienced a 84 year-old female patient who had dizziness, fatigue, abdominal pulsation and frequent voiding. These symptoms were related to previous episodes and presumed sick sinus syndrome by symptoms, ECGs and 24 hrs of holter monitoring. In the point of Differentiation of Syndrome (辨證), this patient was diagnosed as 'Water retention(水氣)' and was administered with Yeonggyechulgam-tang(岺桂朮甘湯). After the treatment, abdominal pulsation (frequency) and dizziness (VAS) were improved. Futhermore, the interval of voiding was longer and each volume of urination increased.

13년령의 암컷 말티즈견이 5개월간의 일시적인 기절현상 (syncope)을 주증상으로 내원하였다. 환축은 병력 청취 신체검사 심장검사 총혈액검사, 혈액 화학적 검사, 방사선학적 검사, 심전도 검사, 아트로핀 반응 검사 (atropine response test), 호르몬 검사, 심전도 검사 등을 통해 심장의 문제가 있는 것으로 진단되었다. 본 증례에서 심전도 검사는 아트로핀 투여에 의한 심전도 기록을 통해 sick sinus syndrome을 확진 하는데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 임상 증상은 테오필린 (THEOLANi, 근화제약, 서울, 한국, 20mg/kg, 경구 투여, 1일 2회)을 복용하면서 개선되었다. 환축은 10개월을 생존하였으나 지역 병원에서 복강의 종괴를 제거하는 수술을 받는 중 호흡곤란과 쇼크로 사망하였다. 사망 후 보호자의 반대로 부검은 이루어지지 않았다.

간헐적인 기절과 운동 불내성의 주요증상을 호소하는 4살 령의 중성화된 암컷 페키니즈 개 (체중 3.6 kg)가 내원하였다. 신체검사상 지속적인 맥박 결손을 가진 아주 불규칙한 심박동(irregularly irregular heart rhythm)이 나타났다. 12 유도 표면 심전도에서는 동방결절 기능 부전군을 의미하는 간헐적인 방실 접합부 이탈박동과 함께 특이적인 동정지가 나타났다. 본 환자에 대한 심장 박동수 반응형의 양극성 심장 박동조절기(VVIR type)를 이용한 영구적 경정맥형 심박 조율시술은 우심실 내에서 실시되었다. 심장 박동기 장착 이후, 환자의 임상증상은 눈에 띠게 호전되었다. 시술이후 아직까지 기절의 증상은 더 이상 나타나지 않고 있다.

굴기능부전증후군은 매우 드물지만 신생아에서도 발생할 수 있으며 소아 환자의 경우 대부분 선천심장병이 있거나 심장수술 후에 발생한다. 그러나 이와 같은 심질환의 선행 요인이 없는 신생아에서도 발생할 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 인지가 필요하다. 굴기능부전증후군은 대부분 특발성으로 발생하며 증상도 다양하고 24시간 심전도 검사상에서도 다양한 형태로 관찰된다. 본 증례에서는 초극소저체중출생아에서 선천심장병 없이 발생한 굴기능부전증후군에 대해 보고하였다. 환아는 심전도상 굴느린맥과 함께 심방세동이 동반된 느린맥과 빠른맥이 반복되어 관찰되었으며 무호흡, 산소포화도의 저하, 청색증의 징후를 나타냈다. 증상이 있는 굴기능부전증후군의 경우 대부분 심장박동조율기의 삽입이 필요하나 본 환아는 당시 체중 750 g으로 심장박동조율기의 삽입에 실패하여 약물 치료를 시작하였다. Isoproterenol과 atropine으로 치료하면서 환아의 체중이 1,500 g을 넘어서자 증상과 심전도상의 호전을 보였다. 향후 본 환아에서처럼 심장박동조율기의 삽입이 어려운 소아 환자의 경우에 대한 치료 체계에 대해 많은 연구가 필요하다.

The hemodynamic effects of thyroid hormone are well established, and this hormone affects myocardial contractility, heart rate, and myocardial oxygen consumption. But the role of cardiopulmonary bypass on the thyroid function is not yet fully understood. We have studied twelve patients [male and female patients were equal in number] who were performed open heart surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. The results are followed. 1] The serum level of T3 began to fall after cardiopulmonary bypass and sustained significantly till 24 hours after operation[p<0.05] 2] The concentrations of T4, Free T4, and TSH were slightly decreased after cardiopulmonary bypass but was maintained within normal range. 3] This above findings are similar to the "sick sinus syndrome" that is seen in severely ill patient. 4] We can propose that T3 would be effective in postoperative low cardiac output syndrome. syndrome.

The management of cardiac arrhythmias by cardiac pacing has increased greatly since the treatment of complete heart block with an external transcutaneous pacemaker in 1952, followed by the use of myocardial wires connected to an external pulse generation, by external transvenous pacing, and then by transvenous pacing with implantable components in thoracic wall.By now, the three bases of modern cardiac pacing for bradyarrhythmias had been established [1] an implantable device [2] the transvenous approach [3] the ability of the pacemaker to sense cardiac activity and modify its own function accordingly. In transvenous implantation of a pacemaker, any one of four vessels at the root of the neck is suitable for passage of the electrode - cephalic vein, external jugular vein, internal jugular vein, costo-axillary branch of the axillary vein. The new technique of direct puncture of the subclavian vein, either percutaneously or after skin incision only has been made, is invaluable & is used routinely. We have experienced one 25 years old patient who had rheumatic mitral stenosis & minimum aortic regurgitation with sinus bradycardia associated with premature atrial tachycardia & another 54 years old female patient who was suffered from sick sinus syndrome with sinus bradycardia & sinus arrest. The 1st patient was taken open mitral commissurotomy & aortic valvuloplasty and then was taken atrlal pace-maker implantation through If subclavian puncture method in post-op 14 days, and the second patient was taken atrial pacemaker implantation through If subclavian puncture method. Their postop course was in uneventful & were discharged, without complication. Their condition have been good to now.

We implanted pacemakers using screw-in sutureless myocardial electrode in 40 patients between February, 1980 and November, 1982 at Seoul Nation University Hospital. Mean age of total patient who received the pacemaker implantation was 39.9 years, but excluding the patient who received the open heart surgery, mean age was 49.3 years. Cause of pacemaker implantation was complete A-V block in 13 patients, symptomatic sick sinus syndrome in 12 patients, complete A-V block after open heart surgery in 12 patients, second degree A-V block with dizziness in one patient, and atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response in two patients. In thirty nine cases, electrodes were implanted by subxiphoid approach, on the diaphragmatic surface of right ventricle. I n one case, electrode was implanted through the left anterior thoracotomy. Acute stimulation threshold, measured in 35 patients, varied from 0.1 to 2.5 mA [mean 0.85 mA.], and R-wave amplitude [sensitivity], measured in 19 patients, varied from 2.9 mV to 11.5 mV [mean 7.6 mV]. There was no hospital death. The postoperative complications included wound seroma in two patients [5%], wound hematoma in three patients [7.5%], and pacing failure in one patient [2.5%]. The subxiphoid implantation of the pacemaker using sutureless myocardial lead was valuable in obtaining safe, reliable and long-term impulse generation.

During the period from January 1982 to June 1984 we implanted permanent pacemakers in 18 patients who received open heart surgery at Yonsei University Hospital. 1.In 11 patients, open heart surgery was performed at Yonsei University Hospital and new surgical induced heart blocks were developed and implantations of permanent pacemaker were done. 2.Total 1035 open heart surgeries were done and implantations of pacemaker were performed in 11 cases. [1.06%]. After total correction of TOF [215 cases] implantations of pacemaker were done in 3 cases. [1.4%] Implantations of pacemaker were 0.37% after VSD repair, 0.78% after ASD repair, 5.9% after ECD repair, 0.48% after MVR and 2.0% after AVR. 3.Causes were complete A-V block, sick sinus syndrome and A-V dissociation. 4.Heart blocks were developed immediately after bypass stop in 8 patients. 5.Implantations of pacemaker were done at more than 2 weeks after open heart surgery. 6.Local anesthesia was done in adult and general anesthesia in infants. Locations of pulse generator were subxiphoid, subcostal & subclavian. Position of pulse generator was between subcutaneous fat layer and muscle layer. 7.Types of pulse generator were VVI, VDD and AAI. 8.The postoperative complications included infection, pacing failure, sensing failure and lead dislodgment.
