Abstract The limited literature and increasing interest in studies on cardiacelectrophysiology, explicitly focusing on cardiac ion channelopathies and suddencardiacdeath in diverse populations, has prompted a comprehensive examination of existing research.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) confers an increased risk of suddencardiacdeath (SCD) independent of its associated cardiovascular comorbidities. Diabetes mellitus induces adverse structural, electrophysiological, and autonomic cardiac remodeling which can increase one’s risk of ventricular arrhythmias and SCD.
“I am grateful to my ACC colleagues for recognizing our work with this prestigious award,” said Chugh, associate director of the Smidt Heart Institute and the Pauline and Harold Price Chair in CardiacElectrophysiology Research at Cedars-Sinai. The credit goes to my mentees and colleagues over the years.
Suddencardiacdeath (SCD) is one of the most important causes of mortality in the world. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major risk factor for SCD associated with significant pro-arrhythmic structural and electrophysiological ventricular remodelling.
Contemporary antiarrhythmic treatment of Timothy syndrome 1 (TS1) is inadequate to prevent suddencardiacdeath. Using electroanatomic mapping (EAM) we discovered cardiac activation delay, which creates the milieu for functional reentrant ventricular arrhythmias.
It is also published in Heart Rhythm , the official journal of the HRS, Journal of Arrhythmia , the official journal of the APHRS, and Journal of Interventional CardiacElectrophysiology , the official journal of the LAHRS. 7 Atrial fibrillation has a significant impact on people’s lives.

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Secondary outcomes included trends of suddencardiacdeath, appropriate/inappropriate shocks, and ICD-related complications.RESULTS:In total, 234 studies (N=92 500, 514 748 patient-years) met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 46.2
The Smidt Heart Institute recently received CAROL Act funding to study the connection between ventricular arrhythmias—abnormal heartbeats that start in the heart’s two lower chambers—and an elevated risk of suddencardiacdeath in patients with mitral valve disease.
Patients with Brugada syndrome who are asymptomatic and have no ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation inducibility by programmed electrical stimulation are at extremely low risk of experiencing late life-threatening arrhythmias. Methods Patients with BrS ( n = 523; mean age, 51 ± 13 years; male, n = 497) were enrolled.
Transcript of the video: Brugada Syndrome was described by Brugada brothers in 1992 as right bundle branch block pattern in anterior leads with ST segment elevation and syncope or suddencardiacdeath and it was later in 1998, that the genetic basis of the disease was identified, with mutations in sodium channel.
Brugada syndrome is thought to account for about one fourth of suddencardiacdeaths in individuals with structurally normal heart. This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study.

Abstract Introduction Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is utilized in patients with assumed but not yet confirmed risk for suddencardiacdeath (SCD). However, the rate of WCD-detected ventricular or atrial arrhythmia events in this specific high-risk cohort is not well understood.
This discussion comes from this previous post: Hyperthermia and ST Elevation Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with suddencardiacdeath (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias. Prior to Mizusawa's study, it was thought that the incidence of syncope, arrhythmia, or SCD in this cohort was low [7].
A subgroup of patients with MVP may experience ventricular arrhythmias and suddencardiacdeath (“arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse” [AMVP]) but how to stratify arrhythmic risk is still unclear. Abstract Introduction Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common clinical condition in the general population.
Abstract Introduction Despite advancements in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) technology, suddencardiacdeath (SCD) remains a persistent public health concern. Time periods were chosen based on the establishment of the Arrhythmia Service in 2011.
ABSTRACT Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetically heterogeneous inherited cardiomyopathy with an estimated prevalence of 1:500010000 that predisposes patients to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and suddencardiacdeath (SCD).
A case for pleomorphism Josephson elucidated the concept of pleomorphism during electrophysiological study of patients with recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia. It was postulated that such an ECG feature is associated with advanced myocardial dysfunction, to include left ventricular aneurysm, as the cause of arrhythmia. [7]
The limb lead abnormalities appear to be part of the Brugada pattern, as described in this article: Inferior and Lateral Electrocardiographic RepolarizationAbnormalities in Brugada Syndrome Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with suddencardiacdeath (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias.
Background Atrial fibrillation, the most sustained common arrhythmia, is increasing in incidence and prevalence in the United States and globally. Stages of AF The previous classification of AF was based on arrhythmia duration which placed more emphasis on therapeutic interventions once AF was diagnosed. million.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Sudden cardiacdeath is the most common cause of death in childhood hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Recently, 2 risk scores have been developed to estimate the 5-year risk of suddencardiacdeath.
Distinction is made between: ERP ( E arly R epolarization " P attern" ) in which the ECG findings of early repolarization are seen in the absence of symptomatic arrhythmias. ER associated with a rapidly ascending ( upsloping ) ST segments are the most common form and are also generally associated with low risk of malignant arrhythmias.
A score including ECG pattern, early familial SCD antecedents, inducible electrophysiological study, presentation as syncope or as aborted SCD and SND had a predictive performance of 0.82. Conclusion of this paper: Fever is a great risk factor for arrhythmia events in Brugada Syndrome patients. and proband status (HR 2.1).
ABSTRACT Background Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) carries an increased risk of complex ventricular arrhythmias, which can lead to suddencardiacdeath. Many of these patients undergo implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation, but their ICD outcomes are not known.
