Overview

Sinus arrest is fairly uncommon. It can be observed in the setting of myocardial disease (myocarditis) and ischemia or infarction (particularly acute inferior or posterior ST segment elevation MI). It can be a manifestation of digitalis or lidocaine toxicity.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
