Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) occurs when the sinoatrial (sinus) node, known as the "heart's pacemaker, " functions improperly and causes the heart to beat too rapidly (tachycardia), too slowly (bradycardia) or both (bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome).
Some people can also have the so-called bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome associated with the sick sinus syndrome.
