General anesthesia for a patient with Brugada syndrome.

Brugada Syndrome is a genetic cardiac disease characterized by electrocardiogram changes consisting of an incomplete right bundle branch block, and ST-segment elevations in right precordial leads V1-V3. These patients are at high risk for developing spontaneous arrhythmias that can be fatal. Many factors during general anesthesia, such as medications, temperature changes, and heart rate variati...

Diagnostic Dilemmas: Overlapping Features of Brugada Syndrome and Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and Brugada syndrome are distinct clinical entities which diagnostic criteria exclude their coexistence in individual patients.

In contrast, the Brugada syndrome has long been considered a functional cardiac disorder: no gro...
