Right bundle branch block, right precordial st-segment elevation, and sudden death in young people.
BACKGROUND Patients with the ECG pattern of right bundle branch block and right precordial ST-segment elevation may experience sudden death in the setting of either arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or a functional electrical disorder such as Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS Among a series of 273 young (</=35 years) victims of cardiovascular sudden death who were pro...

OBJECTIVES We sought to assess whether structural heart disease underlies the syndrome of right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation and sudden death. BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation and sudden death may occur in patients with a distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of right bundle branch block and persistent ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. M...
متن کاملThe syndrome of right bundle branch block ST segment elevation in V1 to V3 and sudden death--the Brugada syndrome.
In 1992 a new syndrome was described consisting of syncopal episodes and/or sudden death in patients with a structurally normal heart and an electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristic of right bundle branch block with ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3. The disease is genetically determined, with an autosomal dominant pattern of transmission. Three different mutations that affect the structure ...

متن کاملRight bundle branch block and coved-type ST-segment elevation mimicked by acute cholecystitis.
A 69-year-old woman had acute cholecystitis that mimicked right bundle branch block with coved-type ST-segment elevation in the precordial electrocardiogram leads (Brugada-type ST shift). The patient did not have obvious heart disease, syncope, or a family history of sudden death. The coved-type ST-segment elevation disappeared as the acute inflammation subsided. Intravenous administration of p...
