Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Dynamic gradient may be sought by glyceryl trinitrate, Valsalva manoeuvre, standing position or even symptom limited exercise. Obstruction may occur during recovery and post exercise monitoring of gradient is mandatory. Degree of outflow obstruction can be documented along with the classical Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow sign.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Other parameters which are thought to convey risk in Brugada syndrome are Tpeak-Tend >100 ms in chest leads, early repolarization pattern in inferior leads, post exercise ST segment elevation and diurnal burden of Type 1 ECG pattern on Holter monitoring [4]. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study. mV or R/q ≥ 0.75.
