Sick sinus syndrome cured by ... vitamin D?

Kessel L.

State Veterans Hospital, Rocky Hills, CT.

I have presented the case of a 77-year-old woman with SSS who was
treated unsuccessfully with antiarrhythmic drugs for 5 years. During
the fifth year, she developed chronic atrial fibrillation. Two years
later she started to take vitamin D for unrelated reasons, and first
regained regular sinus rhythm and later stopped having episodes of
atrial fibrillation. The patient has been now asymptomatic for over 2
years.

You might want to reread this knowing that "regular sinus rhythm"
refers to the regular rhythm of the heart, not the nasal cavities.

The term sick sinus here refers to cardiac rythm, not to the empty spaces in
your head.
