Abstract
The most important manifestations of heart disease in hemochromatosis are congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia. The spectrum of disturbances in cardiac rhythm ranges from minor abnormalities on the electrocardiogram to supraventricular arrhythmia, atrioventricular conduction block, and ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Sinus node dysfunction is, however, rarely mentioned. The authors report a case of massive transfusion-induced hemochromatosis in which the patient presented with sick sinus syndrome as the early manifestation of cardiac involvement. ? 1994 Churchill Livingstone Inc.
