Brugada type 1 electrocardiogram: Should we treat the electrocardiogram or the patient?
Patients with a Brugada type 1 electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern may suffer sudden cardiac death (SCD). Recognized risk factors are spontaneous type 1 ECG and syncope of presumed arrhythmic origin. Familial sudden cardiac death (f-SCD) is not a recognized independent risk factor. Finally, positive electrophysiologic study (+EPS) has a controversial prognostic value. Current ESC guidelines recomme...
متن کاملType 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram induced by hypokalemia
Coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads are the characteristics of Brugada syndrome, an inherited arrhythmogenic ion channel disease, which could lead to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death. Hypokalemia alone may induce Type 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram (EKG), and the association has rarely been reported. We describe a patient with hypokalemia 2.9 mmol/L and the...

Brugada syndrome presents in a certain number of patients as an inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorder caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A. Carriers of the disease may develop a variety of cardiac arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardias, atrioventricular conduction defects or block, sick sinus syndrome with atrial standstill, and ventricular tachycardia and ...
