Sick sinus syndrome cured by ... vitamin D?

 

Kessel L.

 

State Veterans Hospital, Rocky Hills, CT.

 

I have presented the case of a 77-year-old woman with SSS who was treated

unsuccessfully with antiarrhythmic drugs for 5 years. During the fifth year,

she developed chronic atrial fibrillation. Two years later she started to

take vitamin D for unrelated reasons, and first regained regular sinus

rhythm and later stopped having episodes of atrial fibrillation. The patient

has been now asymptomatic for over 2 years.
