The well-known hypervolemia associated with normal pregnancy averages 40 to 45 percent above blood volume in non-pregnant women after 32 to 34 weeks. The case was on Mrs. FN, 40 years old, a patient reffered due to sinus bradycardia before the insertion of permanent pacemaker. After 6 month-use of the permanent pacemaker, she became pregnant with triplet pregnancy. This case report evaluated the patient's condition from her hypervolemic condition to her cardiac function.

AbstractSymptomatic bradycardia is usually caused by abnormalities of atrioventricular conduction or sinus node dysfunction. Reversible and irreversible causes must be considered.Temporary pacemakers are used in the emergency treatment in case of severe bradyarrhythmia.They help to bridge the acute phase until spontaneous restoration of atrioventricular or sinus node function or –if spontaneous restoration fails- until a permanent pacemaker system was implanted.In the following article we discuss the commonly used temporary pacemaker systems. We demonstrate their use and correct programming by an illustrated step by step explanation. For troubleshooting a flow chart was added.

Background: Patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) are at increased risk of atrial tachyarrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether the presence of SND is also associated with worse outcomes among those with AF has not been well described. Methods: The ORBIT-AF registry enrolled patients with AF from a range of clinical practices across the US. SND was defined clinically, based on the presence of sinus bradycardia, severe sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, sinoatrial exit block, or features of tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to describe treatment patterns and outcomes for patients with and without SND and AF. Results: Overall, 1,710 (17.7%) patients had SND at enrollment. Patients with SND had lower left-ventricular ejection fractions, higher CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc risk scores, and more prior cerebrovascular events. Patients with SND had more severe symptoms (EHRA class IV: 17.5% vs. 13.9%; p=0.007) and poorer quality of life (median AFEQT 77.5 vs. 81.1; p=0.008) as compared to those without. SND patients were more frequently treated with oral anticoagulants (79.2% vs. 75.9%, p=0.004) and had more often received interventional therapy for AF (16.1% vs. 10.5%, p<0.0001). There were no differences in the current AF management strategy between patients with SND and those without [rate control (69.7% vs. 67.7%), rhythm control (30.0% vs. 32.0%); P=0.11]. After adjustment, significantly more patients with SND had progressed from paroxysmal AF at baseline to persistent or permanent AF at any follow-up or persistent AF at baseline to permanent AF at any follow-up than those without (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49, p=0.035). Conclusion: Sinus node dysfunction is associated worse symptoms, lower quality of life, and higher risk of progression to permanent AF. However, SND is not associated with increased risk of all-cause hospitalization, incident stroke, or all-cause death.
