Local Left Ventricular Epicardial J Waves and Late Potentials in Brugada Syndrome Patients with Inferolateral Early Repolarization Pattern
Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by J-point or ST-segment elevation on electrocardiograms (ECGs) and increased risk of ventricular fibrillation (VF). In BrS, epicardial depolarization abnormality with delayed potential on the right ventricular outflow tract is reportedly the predominant mechanism underlying VF. Yet VF occurrence is also associated with early repolarization (E...
متن کاملElectrical storm in patients with brugada syndrome is associated with early repolarization.
BACKGROUND Electrical storms (ESs) in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) are rare though potentially lethal. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 22 men with BrS and ES, defined as ≥3 episodes/d of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and compared their characteristics with those of 110 age-matched, control men with BrS without ES. BrS was diagnosed by a spontaneous or drug-induced type 1 pattern on the...
متن کاملOverlapping risks of early repolarization and Brugada syndrome.
Over the past 2 decades, we have witnessed major progress toward a better understanding of the Brugada syndrome (BrS) and have gained knowledge of the genetic aspects, pathophysiology, and new management of the syndrome (1–3). However, controversies exist, especially concerning the role of sodium channel mutation and electrophysiological mechanisms underlying the syndrome (2,4), as well as risk...
متن کاملEvaluation Of Patients With Early Repolarization Syndrome.
In recent years, the early repolarization pattern has emerged as a risk factor for malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The identification of the subset of patients who are at high risk of sudden death represents a significant challenge to the clinician. Multiple clinical and ECG features have been associated with an increased risk of sudden deathin however the majority o...
متن کاملPrevalence of Brugada-type ECG pattern and early ventricular repolarization pattern in Tunisian athletes
INTRODUCTION No data regarding the prevalence of the Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern and the early ventricular repolarization pattern (ERP) in the North African population were available. The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of Brugada-type ECG pattern and ERP in Tunisia and to evaluate ECG descriptors of ventricular repolarization in a population of athletes. M...
