Familial risk of sinus node dysfunction indicating pacemaker implantation: a nationwide cohort study
First-degree relatives to SND patients are at increased risk of SND with risk being inversely associated with pacemaker implantation age in the index person. Mortality in first-degree relatives was comparable with the general population, although subgroup findings suggest an increased mortality among individuals with a family history of early-onset SND.
