We present two cases with unexpected long sinus arrest resulting in syncope. There were no signs or symptoms of either sick sinus syndrome or increased vagal tone before the occurrence of pauses in these patients. The fact that these patients remained asymptomatic for quite long shows striking resemblance to paroxysmal sub-AV nodal block. We would therefore prefer to classify these cases as paroxysmal sinus arrest as a possible manifestation of the sick sinus syndrome.

Background: The vagal response (VR) is unavoidable during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF). In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of VR during PVI initiated from the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV).
Methods: Patients with AF were consecutively enrolled.

Background: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have been shown to significantly improve the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The incidence and characterization of bradyarrhythmias in this subset of patients is still unknown.
Methods: All consecutive patients who received ILRs, after an ESUS, between March 2015 and December 2022 in our Center were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed.

Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGLs) crises can be triggered by various factors, including norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which worsen symptoms in patients with PPGLs. Therefore, attention should be paid to the potential for serious adverse reactions in patients with PPGLs taking ADHD medications. A 21-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset of severe respiratory and circulatory failure after initiating atomoxetine treatment.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Xinyu People's Hospital, Xinyu, China.
Background: The Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from the Left Coronary Sinus (ARCA-LCS) is a rare congenital cardiac condition where the right coronary artery emerges from the left sinus instead of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva. The clinical significance of ARCA-LCS lies in its potential to cause myocardial ischemia or sudden cardiac death, particularly under physical exertion. In this case, a patient experienced sudden cardiac arrest during sexual activity, which has not previously been reported.
