Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a condition that affects the heart muscle, causing it to become enlarged, thick, or rigid. This condition often leads to heart failure, as the heart cannot effectively pump blood. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

Arrhythmias: Genetic mutations can also predispose individuals to irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or long QT syndrome, which may increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. Mutations in specific genes often cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. The PRIMARY trial is directed by Joanna Chikwe, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai. It can, in some cases, lead to death.

Establishing a probable cause of an arrhythmia includes inquiring about a potential exposure to toxins or medications. An increasing number of substances consumed as “food” are found to have unwanted cardiac effects, prompting the consideration of a novel subcategory in a patient’s clinical history intake: arrhythmogenic foods.1–3

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.
