Arrhythmias can lead to cardiac arrest (CA) and heart failure. When intractable, heart transplant (HTX) can become the only viable treatment. This rare, high-risk cohort has not been reported as a distinct group.

The most common MAE was arrhythmia, representing 46% of MAE, followed by cardiac arrest and bleeding each 20%. Conclusion:Cardiac catheterization is a safe procedure in pediatric patients with cardiomyopathy, with an overall MAE rate of 1.6%. MAE was present in 1.6%.

In this pediatric study, it was 71% successful and better than amiodarone. 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. Procainamide is another reasonable solution to the problem.

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.

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. It is seldom done in pediatric age group. This leads to shortening of action potential duration.
