The [[incidence]] of SSS increases with increasing age, occurring in 1 of every 600 cardiac patients above the age of 65 years old. Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) usually occurs in individuals older than 50 years old. There is no difference in [[incidence]] of SSS between men and women. In addition, the black population was found to have a 41% lower risk of developing SSS as compared to the white population.

===Incidence===
Sick sinus syndrome usually occurs in people older than 50. It is uncommon in children, but if present, it is usually secondary to trauma to the atrium during cardiac surgery. <ref name="pmid25104520">{{cite journal| author=Ewy GA| title=Sick sinus syndrome: synopsis. | journal=J Am Coll Cardiol | year= 2014 | volume= 64 | issue= 6 | pages= 539-40 | pmid=25104520 | doi=10.1016/j.jacc.2014.05.029 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25104520  }} </ref>

Overview

The incidence of SSS increases with increasing age, occurring in 1 of every 600 cardiac patients above the age of 65 years old. Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) usually occurs in individuals older than 50 years old. There is no difference in incidence of SSS between men and women. In addition, the black population was found to have a 41% lower risk of developing SSS as compared to the white population.
