Exercise-induced bradycardia after Mustard repair for complete transposition

Int J Cardiol. 1992 Jul;36(1):126-8. doi: 10.1016/0167-5273(92)90122-j.

Abstract

Impairment of sinus rhythm has been reported after the Mustard procedure for complete transposition. We observed two patients who developed severe bradycardia during or after exercise. The first had a 2.8 s sinus pause in the recovery period, the second had a drop in heart rate during exercise. Both eventually had a pacemaker implanted. Exercise testing can be helpful in detecting sick sinus syndrome.
