PALMA, E.C., et al. : Sinus Node Recovery After 25 Years of Atrial Flutter. This case report demonstrates that the sinus node can recover relatively quickly even after being suppressed by atrial flutter for 25 years, and that a permanent pacemaker may not always be necessary in all patients with sinus arrest after a successful atrial flutter ablation.
