Electrophysiologic characteristics and implications of induced ventricular fibrillation in symptomatic patients with Brugada syndrome.
OBJECTIVES The study examined the electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic characteristics in relation to programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS)-induced ventricular fibrillation (VF), as well as the implications of PVS-induced VF on the recurrence of cardiac events in symptomatic Brugada syndrome. BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordia...
متن کاملTachyarrhythmia Cycle Length in Appropriate versus Inappropriate Defibrillator Shocks in Brugada Syndrome, Early Repolarization Syndrome, or Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are indicated in patients with Brugada syndrome (BS), early repolarization syndrome (ERS), or idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) who are at high risk for sudden cardiac death. The optimal ICD programming for reducing inappropriate shocks in these patients remains to be determined. We investigated the difference in t...

متن کاملRecurrent cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome
BACKGROUND The recurrence of cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome is unclear since this entity remains present in previous studies. METHODS Since 1992, 18 patients (72% male) with idiopathic VF out of 455 ICD implants were treated with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The mean age at first ICD imp...
متن کاملDiagnosis and long-term follow-up of the Brugada syndrome in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
AIMS Some patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation may suffer from the Brugada syndrome. The diagnostic criteria for the Brugada syndrome are uncertain and arbitrarily set. Therefore, we studied the prevalence of the Brugada syndrome using various diagnostic criteria and long-term follow-up in 37 idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Idiopathic ventricular...
