Abstract

A 78-year-old man with cardiac amyloidosis developed sinus bradycardia with symptomatic hypotension. Three months after receiving an advanced biventricular pacemaker system with continuous accelerated rate pacing (daytime: 70 beats/min; nighttime: 90 beats/min), his health status and symptoms were markedly improved.

Keywords: beta-blockers; bradycardia; cardiomyopathy; electrophysiology.
