Cardiac accumulation triggers local tissue injury, electrical instability and arrhythmia. Objective We conducted a systematic review evaluating AF burden and bradycardia requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation and report any predictive risk factors identified. Weighted estimate of event rates for AF were 12.2%

Wearables that track sleep patterns can identify disruptions, such as sleep apnea, which is a known risk factor for heart disease. Early detection of conditions like AFib, bradycardia, or tachycardia allows patients to address issues before they become critical. Sleep Monitoring Quality sleep is essential for heart health.

Syncope without prodrome is a significant risk factor for cardiac syncope and poor outcome. during which sinus bradycardia and arrhythmia are seen but not to a degree that produces symptoms. The indication for pacemaker placement with SSS is symptomatic bradycardia. Learning Points: 1. second in duration.

There is also bradycardia. Bradycardia puts patients at risk for "pause-dependent" Torsades de Pointes. Torsades in acquired long QT is much more likely in bradycardia because the QT interval following a long pause is longer still. malignant ventricular arrhythmias are present), rapid replacement of potassium is required.

PVCs N ot generally considered abnormal ECG findings: Isolated PAC, First Degree AV Block, Sinus bradycardia at a rate of 35-45, and Nonspecific ST-T abnormalities (even if different from a previous ECG). Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful.

--Genetic testing could be helpful to confirm the diagnosis and allow for screening of other at-risk family members. --EP EP study to further risk stratify her is recommended, with ICD placement depending on the results. Conclusion of this paper: Fever is a great risk factor for arrhythmia events in Brugada Syndrome patients.
