Cardiac Pacing in a Patient with Diaphragm Pacing for Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (Ondine's Curse)
2006
Mechanical ventilation support and diaphragm pacing has improved the prognosis of patients with idiopathic congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS; Ondine's curse). However, severe bradyarrhythmias may occur. This report is about a patient who was supplied with a bilateral diaphragm pacing system at early childhood. At the age of 17 years, he experienced multiple syncopes due to sinus nodal arrest, which was successfully treated by the implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker.
