Sinus node arythmia and lone Afib - has anyone got some info?

[Lilypocket]

Hi everyone

I saw my cardiologist a couple a days ago for my 6 monthly check up including and ECG. " Oh" says he ( behind his anti virus mask - at the best of times he is nigh on impossible to understand rabbiting in very fast quiet french like he is on helium - but the mask squashing his nose and mouth did not help) "Oh, you have un petit arythmie of zee sinus node". " Uh oh" says I. "It is not serious non, non it is nothing, but you will have to have an echocardiogram to check the size of the atrium ( all in high speed french)." It is probably provoked by your PAfib" Hmm thinks I 🤔I have had PAfib since 2012 and this is the first time this has been noted on an ECG. He thinks it can be sorted by an ablation.

Now my question is: who can give me some info on this? Am I heading for SSS and a pace maker? Or has anyone had this and been "sorted" by an ablation? Answers on a postcard or better still on this forum.

Love to all from "La lockdown land" ( France)

Sorry all maybe my post was a bit light-hearted but we are in total lockdown in France and I felt a bit like a chuckle.

So more seriously can anyone help understand the link between lone Afib and sinus node arythmia ( with no symptoms) which can be caused by different factors. I can't find anything on this site

Thanks! X

We need a laugh! Sorry I can't help, I have mild SSS and a GP I'm not too impressed with told me that's the cause of my AF (it isn't, it is hereditary and I also have a leaky valve), didn't know it could be the other way round. Maybe look at the British Heart Foundation for info on SSS - 'un petit arrhythmie of ze sinus node' sounds more chic though 😁

Thanks so much for replying. Yes I thought so too. But since I had never had it before my last check up where it was spotted for the first time I suppose the idea of it being triggered by the AFib is possible. . "Ooo la la what a jung- le zis 'art subject eez"

Take care and stay safe! X

Hi, check out the YouTube channel of this guy. This is a more generic link but I'm pretty sure I've seen him post on 'lone Afib'. Good luck

Hi Singwell thanks for the reply. I'm pretty much well informed on lone Afib but wanted a bit of info from people on this forum about the sinus node xx

I think I would research a bit and ask for a second opinion. X
