Performance of electrophysiologic study in an asymptomatic patient with type 2 intermittent Brugada syndrome: To do or not to do?
Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy, which is associated with sudden cardiac death due to rapid polymorphic VT or VF. There is no definite consensus regarding the management of asymptomatic patients. Some experts advocate close follow-up; others propose the programmed stimulation for risk stratification. We aimed to evaluate the benefit of complete atrial and ventri...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic 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 کاملThe electrophysiologic mechanism of ST-segment elevation in Brugada syndrome.
OBJECTIVES We sought to demonstrate the electrophysiologic (EP) mechanism of the ST-T change in Brugada syndrome. BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is characterized by various electrocardiographic manifestations (e.g., right bundle branch block, ST-segment elevation, and terminal T-wave inversion in the right precordial leads) and sudden cardiac death caused by ventricular fibrillation. Direct evid...
متن کاملPrognostic value of electrophysiologic studies in Brugada syndrome.
A decade has passed since Pedro and Joseph Brugada (1) discovered an electrocardiographic (ECG) marker for sudden cardiac death in a subset of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1 to V3) with a right bundle branch block pattern. This clinical entity, quickly recognized as the Brugada syndrome, has drawn wi...
متن کاملThe Brugada syndrome: clinical, electrophysiologic and genetic aspects.
This review deals with the clinical, basic and genetic aspects of a recently highlighted form of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation known as the Brugada syndrome. Our primary objective in this review is to identify the full scope of the syndrome and attempt to correlate the electrocardiographic manifestations of the Brugada syndrome with cellular and ionic heterogeneity known to exist within t...
