This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes. There is a potential risk for drug challenge in that life threatening ventricular arrhythmias could be precipitated. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study. With proper precautions, risk can be reduced.

Africa is the second most populous and fastest growing continent, and yet has a nearly non-existent infrastructure of electrophysiology (EP) labs to provide cardiac ablation therapy. When left untreated, arrhythmias may significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.

Aim Inflammatory cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) directly affect cardiac electrophysiology by inhibiting cardiac potassium currents, leading to delay of cardiac repolarisation and QT-prolongation. This may result in lethal arrhythmias.

Chugh, the Pauline and Harold Price Chair in Cardiac Electrophysiology Research at Cedars-Sinai, investigates the causes of and potential treatments for abnormal heart rhythms, including sudden cardiac arrest. EDT, and she will co-chair electrophysiology research presentations.

Admission and referral to electrophysiology is always indicated. NOTE #3: In the context of a long QTc or ischemia — the finding of ST segment and/or T wave alternans may predict the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias.

Prior to Mizusawa's study, it was thought that the incidence of syncope, arrhythmia, or SCD in this cohort was low [7]. In light of the risk of arrhythmia events observed in the Mizusawa trial, a formal EP study might be reasonable to obtain in those with fever induced asymptomatic Brugada ECG changes to help risk stratify these patients.

Further history later: This patient personally has no further high risk features (syncope / presyncope), but her mother had sudden cardiac arrest in sleep. Conclusion of this paper: Fever is a great risk factor for arrhythmia events in Brugada Syndrome patients. We repeated the ECG: Brugada pattern is mostly resolved.
