Long-Term Prognosis of Probands With Brugada-Pattern ST-Elevation in Leads V 1 –V 3

Long-term prognosis of probands with Brugada-pattern ST-elevation in leads V1-V3.

BACKGROUND The prognosis of patients with saddleback or noncoved type (non-type 1) ST-elevation in Brugada syndrome is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the long-term prognosis of probands with non-type 1 ECG and those with coved (type 1) Brugada-pattern ECG. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 330 (123 symptomatic, 207 asymptomatic) probands with a coved or saddleback ST-elevation...

Long-term prognosis of individuals with right precordial ST-segment-elevation Brugada syndrome.

BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is an arrhythmogenic disease characterized by an ECG pattern of ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death as a result of ventricular fibrillation. Controversy exists with regard to risk stratification and therapeutic management, particularly in asymptomatic individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 212 indivi...

Long-Term Prognosis of Patients Diagnosed With Brugada Syndrome

Background—Brugada syndrome is characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Fundamental questions remain on the best strategy for assessing the real disease-associated arrhythmic risk, especially in asymptomatic patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prognosis and risk factors of SCD in Brugada syndr...
