Electrophysiological patterns and structural substrates of Brugada syndrome: Critical appraisal and computational analyses

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac electrophysiological disease with unknown etiology, associated with sudden cardiac death. Symptomatic patients are treated with implanted cardiac defibrillator, but no risk stratification strategy is effective in patients that are at low to medium arrhythmic risk.

PROPHYLACTIC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIC INTERVENTIONS IN CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE: NEW INSIGHTS AND FRESH CONTROVERSY

HeartRhythm

Sustained MVT affects approximately 10% of such patients at 30 years after cardiac repair and is inextricably related to the burden of sudden cardiac death (SCD).(1)

Implantable Defibrillators: Which Is the Best Device for Each Patient?

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT The first viable alternative to surgical implantation of an epicardial defibrillator system for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) was a single chamber transvenous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

Oldest‐in‐Human Successful Extraction Experience of a Novel Substernal Extravascular Defibrillator

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction Substernal extravascular defibrillators (EV ICDs) have been shown to be effective and safe for patients at risk of sudden cardiac death, however, there is little evidence around the safety of extracting chronic devices.

Slowly conducting anatomic isthmuses of tetralogy of Fallot: An opportunity for “prophylactic” ventricular tachycardia ablation

HeartRhythm

Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot are at risk of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and sudden cardiac death. Historically, risk stratification electrophysiologic studies involved programmed ventricular stimulation with VT induction guiding implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation or VT ablation.
