Brugada Syndrome:Risk Stratification And Management.
The Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an arrhythmogenic disease associated with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. The risk stratification and management of BrS patients, particularly of asymptomatic ones, still remains challenging.

متن کاملRisk Stratification in Brugada Syndrome: Role of Programmed Electrical Stimulation
Brugada syndrome (BS) is an arrhythmogenic disease characterized by a typical electrocardiographic finding (type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram [ECG]) and an increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VF). Risk stratification remains a challenge, especially in cases without documented cardiac arrest or VF. The role of progr...

متن کاملThe Brugada syndrome.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The Brugada syndrome has been an area of intensive investigation since its earliest description in 1992, both on a clinical and on a basic research level. In this review, we will focus on recent achievements in the molecular dissection of the disease pathophysiology and on large multicenter studies dealing with prognostic markers and the natural history of the Brugada syndrome...
متن کاملA tick-borne illness unmasking asymptomatic Brugada syndrome
Brugada syndrome is an important cause of sudden cardiac death and should be recognized in asymptomatic patients with characteristic electrocardiographic (ECG) findings. We report a case of a 59-year-old male who presented with fever and generalized malaise after a camping trip with confirmed tick exposure. Initial diagnostic work-up included an ECG, which showed incidental ST-segment elevation...
