Ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias and heart failure in a patient with left ventricular noncompaction and Brugada syndrome.

چکیده
We report a 47 year-old male patient with coexistence of left ventricular noncompaction and Brugada syndrome. He presented malignant ventricular arrhythmias followed by cardioverter- -defibrillator implantation, atrial fibrillation and flutter and progressive heart failure. This case could be an example of the coexistence of two rare diseases of various genetic patterns that only partially showed overlapping symptomatology and complications, particularly ventricular arrhythmias.

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 کاملElectrocardiographic findings in correlation to magnetic resonance imaging patterns in African patients with isolated ventricular noncompaction
OBJECTIVE Isolated ventricular noncompaction is a rare primary genetic cardiomyopathy characterized by persistent embryonic myocardial morphology without any other cardiac anomalies. Arrhythmias are frequently present, including both tachyarrhythmia and conduction disturbance. Our study aimed to describe the electrocardiographic findings and to correlate them with the clinical presentation and ...
متن کاملA Case of Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction with Basal ECG-Tracing Strongly Suggestive for Type-2 Brugada Syndrome
Isolated left ventricular noncompaction (ILVNC) is a cardiomyopathy caused by intrauterine arrest of compaction of the myocardial fibres and meshwork, an important process in myocardial development. ILVNC is clinically accompanied by depressed ventricular function, arrhythmias, and systemic embolization. We reported a case of ILVNC with basal ECG-tracing strongly suggestive for type-2 Brugada s...

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a rare primary cardiomyopathy caused by an arrest in myocardial morphogenesis. The clinical manifestations are highly variable from asymptomatic to severe heart failure, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, or systemic thrombo-embolic events. Association of NCCM and electric disorders has been reported as rare case reports with WPW syndrome and Brugada syndr...

OBJECTIVE To study various types of supraventricular arrhythmias in patients with Brugada Syndrome. METHODS Forty six patients with ECG of spontaneous type Brugada and with ventricular and/or supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, without structural heart diseases which were excluded by echocardiography, underwent 24 h-Holter recording, electrophysiological study and/or radiofrequency ablation. ...
