Right bundle branch block, right precordial st-segment elevation, and sudden death in young people.
BACKGROUND Patients with the ECG pattern of right bundle branch block and right precordial ST-segment elevation may experience sudden death in the setting of either arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or a functional electrical disorder such as Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Among a series of 273 young (</=35 years) victims of cardiovascular sudden death who were pro...
متن کاملFamilial cardiomyopathy associated with right bundle branch block, ST segment elevation and sudden death.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess whether structural heart disease underlies the syndrome of right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation and sudden death. BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation and sudden death may occur in patients with a distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of right bundle branch block and persistent ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. M...
متن کاملRight bundle branch block and coved-type ST-segment elevation mimicked by acute cholecystitis.
A 69-year-old woman had acute cholecystitis that mimicked right bundle branch block with coved-type ST-segment elevation in the precordial electrocardiogram leads (Brugada-type ST shift). The patient did not have obvious heart disease, syncope, or a family history of sudden death. The coved-type ST-segment elevation disappeared as the acute inflammation subsided. Intravenous administration of p...
متن کاملSudden death in patients and relatives with the syndrome of right bundle branch block, ST segment elevation in the precordial leads V(1)to V(3)and sudden death.
BACKGROUND The syndrome with an electrocardiographic pattern of right bundle branch block, ST segment elevation in leads V(1)to V(3)and sudden death is genetically determined and caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel. The inheritance of the disease is autosomal dominant. Sudden death may, however, occur from a variety of causes in relatives and patients with this syndrome. PATIENT...
متن کاملPrevalence of asymptomatic ST segment elevation in right precordial leads with right bundle branch block (Brugada-type ST shift) among the general Japanese population.
OBJECTIVE To examine the modality and morbidity of asymptomatic ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3 with right bundle branch block (Brugada-type ST shift). METHODS 8612 Japanese subjects (5987 men and 2625 women, mean age 49.2 years) who underwent a health check up in 1997 were investigated. Those with Brugada-type ST shift underwent the following further examinations over a two year perio...
