In this study, we describe the overlapping phenotypes of short QT interval with Brugada-like ECG in a Chinese man. Furthermore, we identify a heterozygous missense mutation in the patient′s SCN5A ...

Editor's note: This is an edited translation of an interview posted on Medscape en Español. Jorge González, MD: I'm Jorge González, and I am here with Dr Josep Brugada. It is a real pleasure to ...

Brugada syndrome is a rare heart condition that can make you faint or have a cardiac arrest. It can cause a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation, which prevents the heart from ...

In patients with severe hyperkalemia, the Brugada syndrome ECG phenotype is associated with a high prevalence of malignant arrhythmias and all-cause mortality. Among patients with severe hyperkalemia ...

We investigated whether Brugada syndrome (BrS)-associated variants identified in the general population have an effect on J-point elevation as well as whether carriers of BrS variants were more prone ...

A recent study published in Nature Genetics identified 10 new genetic regions associated with Brugada syndrome, a cardiac arrhythmia disorder associated with sudden death in young adults. The findings ...

Hypokalemia has been implicated as a contributing cause for the high prevalence of SUDS in the Northeastern region of Thailand where potassium deficiency is endemic. [163,155] Serum potassium in the ...

Brugada Syndrome is a genetic disorder that results in sudden cardiac death from polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation in the setting of a structurally normal heart. This ...

Results from the PRELUDE registry have shown that ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation inducibility was not associated with an increased risk of cardiac events among individuals with ...

We studied 98 consecutive cases of intoxication with cyclic antidepressants in 95 patients (mean [±SD] age, 41±13 years) that occurred between January 1998 and December 2001 (Table 1). No patient had ...
