BackgroundAtrial standstill (AS) is a rare condition characterized by absence of electrical activity within the atria. Studies to date have been limited.ObjectivesThe authors sought to describe the clinical characteristics, genetics, and outcomes of patients with AS.MethodsThis was a retrospective multicenter study of patients <18 years at AS diagnosis, defined as absence of atrial activity documented during an electrophysiology study, device placement, or noninvasive rhythm tracings and confirmed by echocardiogram. Patients with acquired disorders were excluded. Clinical details and genetic variants were recorded and analyzed.ResultsTwenty patients were diagnosed at a median age of 6.6 years (IQR: 2.9-10.8 years). Arrhythmias included 16 (80%) with atrial/supraventricular arrhythmias and 8 (40%) with ventricular tachycardia, including 4 with cardiac arrests. A type 1 Brugada pattern was documented in 4. Pacemakers were implanted in 18 (90%). Although atrial leads were attempted in 15, only 4 achieved pacing at implantation. During a median follow-up of 6.9 years (IQR: 1.2-13.3 years), 7 (35%) had thromboembolic events. Of these, none had atrial pacing, 6 were not on anticoagulation, and 1 was on aspirin. Genetic testing identifiedSCN5Avariants in 13 patients (65%). Analyses suggestSCN5Aloss-of-function may be one mechanism driving AS. Ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest were more commonly seen in patients with biallelicSCN5Avariants.ConclusionsAS may be associated with loss-of-functionSCN5Avariants. Patients demonstrate atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, and may present challenges during device placement. Patients without the capacity for atrial pacing are at risk for thromboembolic events and warrant anticoagulation.
