Learn about various types of sinus disturbances and their relevant ECG criteria. ... Reasons to pace sinus pause or sinus arrest include the development of an AV junctional or ectopic ventricular pacemaker that is slow enough to result in such problems as syncope, CHF, angina, or frequent ventricular ectopic beats.

Normally there is no risk associated with sinus pause but if the pause of the heart is too long and the beats are very irregular definitely there is risk associated with it. You can be a victim of cardiac arrest or other cardiovascular complications.
