And right ventricular hypertrophy and the abnormal architecture of the right ventricle, can predispose to late arrhythmias and suddencardiacdeath in repaired tetralogy of Fallot. That is why they need follow up for arrhythmias. Atrial arrhythmias are also common after TOF repair.
Some of them may develop heart failure, arrhythmias, thromboembolic events and even suddencardiacdeath rarely. When non-compaction is associated with left ventricular dysfunction it is called left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. Familial occurrence in up to 30% of first degree relatives have been noted [1].
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. I am always happy to see this ECG of Brugada syndrome as it was sent to me by Prof.
It can automatically detect life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and treat them, either with a shock or, sometimes by overdrive pacing. You may be knowing that one of the causes for inappropriate ICD shocks, is supraventricular arrhythmia, wrongly detected by the defibrillator as a ventricular arrhythmia and giving a shock.
