{{Sick sinus syndrome}}
{{CMG}}; 
==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.
