Inherited arrhythmias (IAs) account for a significant proportion of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young patients without overt heart disease. To date, the studies of Asian pediatric population with IAs are rarely reported.

Brugada syndrome is thought to account for about one fourth of sudden cardiac deaths in individuals with structurally normal heart. This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes. It is seldom done in pediatric age group. mV or R/q ≥ 0.75.

The granulomatous inflammation affects the heart, causing an infiltrative cardiomyopathy The most common manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis are atrioventricular (AV) block and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). VT is the second most common presenting arrhythmia. AV block is the first manifestation of CS in more than 30% of patients.

This discussion comes from this previous post: Hyperthermia and ST Elevation Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with sudden cardiac death (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].

Fever not only unmasks a Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) but also increases the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sudden cardiac death. Conclusion of this paper: Fever is a great risk factor for arrhythmia events in Brugada Syndrome patients. y (3 of 88, 43.6 ± 37.4
