We describe a patient with carotid sinus hypersensitivity that is cardiodepressive as well as vasodepressive. He was treated with AV-sequential pacing after which his complaints were reduced considerably. The various forms of carotid sinus hypersensitivity and their therapeutic consequences are discussed.
