The Brugada syndrome: diagnostic criteria and cellular mechanisms.
نویسنده
چکیده
collaboration is needed to identify the population most likely to respond favourably to a training programme in order to permit efficient resource utilization. The results of the Harrington paper suggest that the greatest benefit would be observed in deconditioned, well-motivated patients with symptomatic heart failure. This potential treatment deserves to be explored further. Our traditional focus on pharmacological intervention and central haemodynamics is clearly too narrow. K.

Proposed diagnostic criteria for the Brugada syndrome.
Asyndrome characterized by ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3) that is unrelated to ischemia, electrolyte disturbances, or obvious structural heart disease was reported as early as 1953,1 but was first described as a distinct clinical entity associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death in 1992.2–4 The Brugada syndrome is a familial disease that displays an autosomal...

Since its introduction as a clinical entity in 1992, the Brugada syndrome has progressed from being a rare disease to one that is second only to automobile accidents as a cause of death among young adults in some countries. Electrocardiographically characterized by a distinct ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, the syndrome is associated with a high risk for sudden cardiac death...

متن کاملDiagnosis and long-term follow-up of the Brugada syndrome in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
AIMS Some patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation may suffer from the Brugada syndrome. The diagnostic criteria for the Brugada syndrome are uncertain and arbitrarily set. Therefore, we studied the prevalence of the Brugada syndrome using various diagnostic criteria and long-term follow-up in 37 idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Idiopathic ventricular...
متن کاملNew electrocardiographic criteria to differentiate the Type-2 Brugada pattern from electrocardiogram of healthy athletes with r'-wave in leads V1/V2.
AIMS Diagnosis of Type-2 Brugada pattern remains challenging and it could be confused with other electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns presenting an r'-wave in leads V1-V2 like in healthy athletes. This could impact their ability to perform competitive sports. The aim of the study was to evaluate, as a proof of concept, the new ECG criteria to differentiate the Type-2 Brugada pattern from the ECG pa...
