Sinus exit block (sinoatrial block) results from blocked sinus impulses - impulses not getting through to depolarize the atria. While the sinus is firing on schedule, the tissue around the SA node is not carrying the impulse. The seriousness of this dysrhythmia is related to the frequency and duration of the blocks. Note that each pause is equal to a multiple of previous P-P intervals. Can cause bradycardia
Can cause symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, or fatigue, especially if the block is frequent or prolonged.
It is classified in 1rst, 2nd and 3rt degree.
Treatment involves addressing the cause, adjusting medications, and using atropine, isoproterenol, or a pacemaker in severe cases.
