Abstract

Atrial standstill is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by the absence of electrical and mechanical activity in the atria. The therapeutic options for these patients described in the current literature, in which no reversible cause is detected, are permanent cardiac pacing, anticoagulant, and heart failure treatment when the latter exists. We present a case of a young male with no personal or family history of cardiovascular disease, diagnosed with atrial standstill after multiple syncopal episodes, in whom, because of the high expected ventricular pacing percentage, we opted for conduction system pacing with left bundle branch area pacing.
