The effect of unhealthy lifestyle on the pathogenesis of sick sinus syndrome: A life-guiding review

Abstract

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS), also known as sinoatrial node dysfunction, has been widely concerned by the medical community. The incidence rate of SSS is increasingly, which poses a great threat to public health. Through decades of repeated research in the medical field, great progress has been made in the pathogenesis of SSS and the interaction mechanism between SSS and other cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we pay special attention to the mental stimulation factors under various pressures such as society and work, and the influence of smoking, drinking, and unhealthy diet on the pathogenesis of SSS. It also explains the mechanism of negative factors in the pathogenesis of SSS. These unhealthy lifestyle will lead to the occurrence of sinoatrial node disease and arrhythmia, and then induce SSS. Therefore, in the premise of increasing incidence rate of SSS and difficult to cure, how to avoid these harmful factors and ensure a healthy lifestyle is extremely important for preventing and treating SSS. This study also has guiding significance for the daily life of high-risk population of SSS and reducing the mortality of SSS patients.
