Risk factors for cardiac events in patients with Brugada syndrome
INTRODUCTION Inconsistent results have been reported about the risk stratification of patients with Brugada syndrome. We have summarized the evidence regarding the strength of association between 6 risk factors (family history of sudden cardiac death [SCD] or syncope, inducible ventricular arrhythmias on electrophysiology study [EPS], spontaneous type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram [ECG], male sex...
متن کاملRecurrent cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome
BACKGROUND The recurrence of cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome is unclear since this entity remains present in previous studies. METHODS Since 1992, 18 patients (72% male) with idiopathic VF out of 455 ICD implants were treated with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The mean age at first ICD imp...
متن کاملClinical diagnosis and risk stratification in patients with Brugada syndrome.
In patients with Brugada syndrome (BRS), especially those who are asymptomatic, preclinical diagnosis and risk stratification are vital to the prevention of the fatal ventricular arrhythmias. The initial optimism that a diagnosis of BRS could be made simply on the basis of distinct electrocardiographic (ECG) changes (see the following text) has been tempered, both by a high incidence of false-p...
متن کاملEfficacy of quinidine in high-risk patients with Brugada syndrome.
BACKGROUND Automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy is considered the only effective treatment for high-risk patients with Brugada syndrome. Quinidine depresses I(to) current, which may play an important role in the arrhythmogenesis of this disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The effects of quinidine bisulfate (mean dose, 1483+/-240 mg) on the prevention of inducible and spontaneous ...
متن کاملPsychological Risk Factors for Cardiac Events
There is abundant evidence that depression, anxiety, and anger increase the risk for cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease. Denollet and Brutsaert are to be commended for contributing a generally well-conducted study of psychological predictors of cardiac end points to this rapidly growing literature. They have found that the combination of “negative affectivity” and social inh...
