Brugada Syndrome: An autosomal dominant defect of cardiac conduction that is characterized by an abnormal ST-segment in leads V1-V3 on the ELECTROCARDIOGRAM resembling a right BUNDLE-BRANCH BLOCK; high risk of VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA; or VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION; SYNCOPAL EPISODE; and possible sudden death. This syndrome is linked to mutations of gene encoding the cardiac SODIUM CHANNEL alpha subunit.Syndrome: A characteristic symptom complex.NAV1.5 Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel: A voltage-gated sodium channel subtype that mediates the sodium ion PERMEABILITY of CARDIOMYOCYTES. Defects in the SCN5A gene, which codes for the alpha subunit of this sodium channel, are associated with a variety of CARDIAC DISEASES that result from loss of sodium channel function.Ajmaline: An alkaloid found in the root of RAUWOLFIA SERPENTINA, among other plant sources. It is a class Ia antiarrhythmic agent that apparently acts by changing the shape and threshold of cardiac action potentials.Bundle-Branch Block: A form of heart block in which the electrical stimulation of HEART VENTRICLES is interrupted at either one of the branches of BUNDLE OF HIS thus preventing the simultaneous depolarization of the two ventricles.Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.Electrocardiography: Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY.Sodium Channels: Ion channels that specifically allow the passage of SODIUM ions. A variety of specific sodium channel subtypes are involved in serving specialized functions such as neuronal signaling, CARDIAC MUSCLE contraction, and KIDNEY function.Death, Sudden, Cardiac: Unexpected rapid natural death due to cardiovascular collapse within one hour of initial symptoms. It is usually caused by the worsening of existing heart diseases. The sudden onset of symptoms, such as CHEST PAIN and CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIAS, particularly VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA, can lead to the loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest followed by biological death. (from Braunwald's Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, 7th ed., 2005)Heart Conduction System: An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle, having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart.Syncope: A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)Flecainide: A potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial ARRHYTHMIAS and TACHYCARDIAS.Electrophysiologic Techniques, Cardiac: Methods to induce and measure electrical activities at specific sites in the heart to diagnose and treat problems with the heart's electrical system.Anti-Arrhythmia Agents: Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.Arrhythmias, Cardiac: Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.Tachycardia, Ventricular: An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).Defibrillators, Implantable: Implantable devices which continuously monitor the electrical activity of the heart and automatically detect and terminate ventricular tachycardia (TACHYCARDIA, VENTRICULAR) and VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION. They consist of an impulse generator, batteries, and electrodes.Long QT Syndrome: A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.Quinidine: An optical isomer of quinine, extracted from the bark of the CHINCHONA tree and similar plant species. This alkaloid dampens the excitability of cardiac and skeletal muscles by blocking sodium and potassium currents across cellular membranes. It prolongs cellular ACTION POTENTIALS, and decreases automaticity. Quinidine also blocks muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic neurotransmission.Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel beta-1 Subunit: A voltage-gated sodium channel beta subunit abundantly expressed in SKELETAL MUSCLE; HEART; and BRAIN. It non-covalently associates with voltage-gated alpha subunits. Defects in the SCN1B gene, which codes for this beta subunit, are associated with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, type 1, and Brugada syndrome 5.Sodium Channel Blockers: A class of drugs that act by inhibition of sodium influx through cell membranes. Blockade of sodium channels slows the rate and amplitude of initial rapid depolarization, reduces cell excitability, and reduces conduction velocity.Procainamide: A class Ia antiarrhythmic drug that is structurally-related to PROCAINE.Muscle Proteins: The protein constituents of muscle, the major ones being ACTINS and MYOSINS. More than a dozen accessory proteins exist including TROPONIN; TROPOMYOSIN; and DYSTROPHIN.Mutation, Missense: A mutation in which a codon is mutated to one directing the incorporation of a different amino acid. This substitution may result in an inactive or unstable product. (From A Dictionary of Genetics, King & Stansfield, 5th ed)Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel beta-3 Subunit: A voltage-gated sodium channel beta subunit subtype that non-covalently associates with voltage-gated alpha subunits. Defects in the SCN3B gene which codes for this beta subunit are associated with Brugada syndrome 7.Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: A congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the RIGHT VENTRICLE wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.Mutation: Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.Midodrine: An ethanolamine derivative that is an adrenergic alpha-1 agonist. It is used as a vasoconstrictor agent in the treatment of HYPOTENSION.Pedigree: The record of descent or ancestry, particularly of a particular condition or trait, indicating individual family members, their relationships, and their status with respect to the trait or condition.Sick Sinus Syndrome: A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the SINOATRIAL NODE including impulse generation (CARDIAC SINUS ARREST) and impulse conduction (SINOATRIAL EXIT BLOCK). It is characterized by persistent BRADYCARDIA, chronic ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following CARDIOVERSION. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.Terfenadine: A selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist devoid of central nervous system depressant activity. The drug was used for ALLERGY but withdrawn due to causing LONG QT SYNDROME.DNA Mutational Analysis: Biochemical identification of mutational changes in a nucleotide sequence.Endocardium: The innermost layer of the heart, comprised of endothelial cells.Heredity: The transmission of traits encoded in GENES from parent to offspring.Mexiletine: Antiarrhythmic agent pharmacologically similar to LIDOCAINE.

Clinical manifestations include hypotonia, short stature, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, Simian crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.

(from AHA/NHLBI/ADA Conference Proceedings, Circulation 2004; 109:551-556)Pre-Excitation Syndromes: A group of conditions in which HEART VENTRICLE activation by the atrial impulse is faster than the normal impulse conduction from the SINOATRIAL NODE. In these pre-excitation syndromes, atrial impulses often bypass the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE delay and travel via ACCESSORY CONDUCTING PATHWAYS connecting the atrium directly to the BUNDLE OF HIS.Death, Sudden: The abrupt cessation of all vital bodily functions, manifested by the permanent loss of total cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions.Lidocaine: A local anesthetic and cardiac depressant used as an antiarrhythmia agent.

Autonomic dysfunction may be associated with HYPOTHALAMIC DISEASES; BRAIN STEM disorders; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. Manifestations include impairments of vegetative functions including the maintenance of BLOOD PRESSURE; HEART RATE; pupil function; SWEATING; REPRODUCTIVE AND URINARY PHYSIOLOGY; and DIGESTION.Body Surface Potential Mapping: Recording of regional electrophysiological information by analysis of surface potentials to give a complete picture of the effects of the currents from the heart on the body surface. It has been applied to the diagnosis of old inferior myocardial infarction, localization of the bypass pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, recognition of ventricular hypertrophy, estimation of the size of a myocardial infarct, and the effects of different interventions designed to reduce infarct size. The limiting factor at present is the complexity of the recording and analysis, which requires 100 or more electrodes, sophisticated instrumentation, and dedicated personnel.

It includes prenatal genetic testing.Heterozygote Detection: Identification of genetic carriers for a given trait.Patch-Clamp Techniques: An electrophysiologic technique for studying cells, cell membranes, and occasionally isolated organelles. All patch-clamp methods rely on a very high-resistance seal between a micropipette and a membrane; the seal is usually attained by gentle suction. The four most common variants include on-cell patch, inside-out patch, outside-out patch, and whole-cell clamp. Patch-clamp methods are commonly used to voltage clamp, that is control the voltage across the membrane and measure current flow, but current-clamp methods, in which the current is controlled and the voltage is measured, are also used.Disopyramide: A class I anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. It also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties.Pinacidil: A guanidine that opens POTASSIUM CHANNELS producing direct peripheral vasodilatation of the ARTERIOLES.

A novel SCN5A mutation, F1344S, identified in a patient with Brugada syndrome and fever-induced ventricular fibrillation. (1/287)

OBJECTIVE: Brugada syndrome (BS) is an inherited electrical cardiac disorder characterized by right bundle branch block pattern and ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3 on surface electrocardiogram that can potentially lead to malignant ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death. About 20% of patients have mutations in the only so far identified gene, SCN5A, which encodes the alpha-subunit of the human cardiac voltage-dependent sodium channel (hNa(v)1.5). Fever has been shown to unmask or trigger the BS phenotype, but the associated molecular and the biophysical mechanisms are still poorly understood. We report on the identification and biophysical characterization of a novel heterozygous missense mutation in SCN5A, F1344S, in a 42-year-old male patient showing the BS phenotype leading to ventricular fibrillation during fever. METHODS: The mutation was reproduced in vitro using site-directed mutagenesis and characterized using the patch clamp technique in the whole-cell configuration. RESULTS: The biophysical characterization of the channels carrying the F1344S mutation revealed a 10 mV mid-point shift of the G/V curve toward more positive voltages during activation. Raising the temperature to 40.5 degrees C further shifted the mid-point activation by 18 mV and significantly changed the slope factor in Na(v)1.5/F1344S mutant channels from -6.49 to -10.27 mV. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate for the first time that the shift in activation and change in the slope factor at a higher temperature mimicking fever could reduce sodium currents' amplitude and trigger the manifestation of the BS phenotype.  (+info)

Low-dose isoproterenol for repetitive ventricular arrhythmia in patients with Brugada syndrome. (2/287)

AIMS: Arrhythmic storm or repetitive ventricular arrhythmia (VA) has been occasionally observed in Brugada syndrome (BS). A beta-adrenergic stimulator [isoproterenol (ISP)] has been reported to suppress this arrhythmic storm in sporadic cases. Accordingly, we investigated the antiarrhythmic effects of ISP infusion in consecutive BS patients with arrhythmic storm or repetitive VA. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seven BS patients with arrhythmic storm were studied. Intravenous ISP was administered as a bolus injection (1-2 microg), followed by continuous infusion (0.15 microg/min). Arrhythmic storm or repetitive VA was suppressed immediately after the bolus administration of ISP, which was followed by continuous infusion of low-dose ISP for 1-3 days. In all patients, ST-elevation decreased in right precordial leads. In six of the seven patients, VA subsided after the discontinuance of ISP. RR interval was shortened and ST-elevation in right precordial leads was decreased after ISP bolus injection. ST-elevation in right precordial leads remained decreased during continuous ISP infusion, whereas the RR interval returned to the control level. CONCLUSION: Continuous administration of low-dose ISP may be effective for the suppression of repetitive VA occurrence in patients with BS.  (+info)

Sodium channel kinetic changes that produce Brugada syndrome or progressive cardiac conduction system disease. (3/287)

Some mutations of the sodium channel gene Na(V1.5) are multifunctional, causing combinations of LQTS, Brugada syndrome and progressive cardiac conduction system disease (PCCD). The combination of Brugada syndrome and PCCD is uncommon, although they both result from a reduction in the sodium current. We hypothesize that slow conduction is sufficient to cause S-T segment elevation and undertook a combined experimental and theoretical study to determine whether conduction slowing alone can produce the Brugada phenotype. Deletion of lysine 1479 in one of two positively charged clusters in the III/IV inter-domain linker causes both syndromes. We have examined the functional effects of this mutation using heterologous expression of the wild-type and mutant sodium channel in HEK-293-EBNA cells. We show that DeltaK1479 shifts the potential of half-activation, V(1/2m), to more positive potentials (V(1/2m) = -36.8 +/- 0.8 and -24.5 +/- 1.3 mV for the wild-type and DeltaK1479 mutant respectively, n = 11, 10). The depolarizing shift increases the extent of depolarization required for activation. The potential of half-inactivation, V(1/2h), is also shifted to more positive potentials (V(1/2h) = -85 +/- 1.1 and -79.4 +/- 1.2 mV for wild-type and DeltaK1479 mutant respectively), increasing the fraction of channels available for activation. These shifts are quantitatively the same as a mutation that produces PCCD only, G514C. We incorporated experimentally derived parameters into a model of the cardiac action potential and its propagation in a one dimensional cable (simulating endo-, mid-myocardial and epicardial regions). The simulations show that action potential and ECG changes consistent with Brugada syndrome may result from conduction slowing alone; marked repolarization heterogeneity is not required. The findings also suggest how Brugada syndrome and PCCD which both result from loss of sodium channel function are sometimes present alone and at other times in combination.  (+info)

A prospective study on spontaneous fluctuations between diagnostic and non-diagnostic ECGs in Brugada syndrome: implications for correct phenotyping and risk stratification. (5/287)

AIMS: Fluctuations between the diagnostic ECG pattern and non-diagnostic ECGs in patients with Brugada syndrome are known, but systematic studies are lacking. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the spontaneous ECG changes between diagnostic and non-diagnostic ECG patterns in patients diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 43 patients with Brugada syndrome (27 males; mean age 45+/-11 years), 310 resting ECGs were obtained during a median follow-up of 17.7 months. The ECGs were analysed for the presence of coved type, saddle-back type or no, respectively unspecific, changes. A coved-type ECG pattern with more than 2 mm ST-segment elevation in at least two right precordial leads was defined as diagnostic. The patients were compared for different clinical characteristics with respect to the pattern of fluctuations. Out of a total of 310 ECGs, 102 (33%) revealed a coved type, 91 (29%) a saddle-back type, and 117 (38%) a normal ECG. Fifteen patients (35%) initially presented with a diagnostic coved-type ECG. Fourteen patients (33%) with an initially coved-type ECG exhibited intermittently non-diagnostic ECGs during follow-up. Only one patient (2%) presented constantly with a coved-type ECG. Out of 28 patients (65%) with an initially non-diagnostic ECG, eight (19%) patients developed a diagnostic coved-type ECG during follow-up. Twenty patients (47%) revealed a coved-type ECG during ajmaline challenge, but never had a baseline coved-type ECG recorded. No significant differences were found in gender and clinical characteristics among patients with or without fluctuations between diagnostic and non-diagnostic basal ECGs. The rate of inducible ventricular fibrillation was significantly higher in patients with more than 50% coved-type ECGs than in patients with less than 50% diagnostic ECGs. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of fluctuations between diagnostic and non-diagnostic ECGs in patients with Brugada syndrome is high and may have an implication on the correct phenotyping and on the risk stratification in patients with Brugada syndrome without aborted sudden cardiac death. For correct phenotyping and risk stratification, repetitive ECG recordings seem to be mandatory.  (+info)

Frequency of Brugada-type ECG pattern (Brugada sign) in Southern Turkey. (6/287)

The frequency of Brugada sign was found to differ among ethnic groups. Yet, there is no data regarding the prevalence of Brugada syndrome and sign in our country. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of a Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern in southern Turkey. A total of 1,238 subjects (males, 671, females, 567) were included in the study. The previously archived ECGs of 807 subjects without any evidence of structural heart disease were chosen randomly and evaluated. In addition, prospective analysis of the ECGs of 431 subjects (males, 293, females, 138) randomly chosen from healthy university students were also included. The mean age was 38.9 +/- 17.6 years. Six subjects (0.48%) had a Brugada-type ECG pattern. One (0.08%) of them had the coved-type and 5 (0.40%) had the saddleback-type. All subjects were asymptomatic. A Brugada-type ECG pattern was obtained in 1 (0.17%) female and in 5 (0.74%) males (OR: 4.2 CI: 0.5-36.4, P = 0.2). The Brugada-type ECG pattern frequency was 0.12% in subjects >or= 25 years old and 1.16% in subjects between 17-24 years old (OR: 9.4 CI: 1.1-81.2, P = 0.02). Young males between 17-24 years had the highest (1.70%) frequency. The results indicate that the frequency of the Brugada-type ECG pattern was 0.48% in the general population, being more prevalent in young males in our region. These results are similar to the findings of studies performed in other countries.  (+info)

Brugada syndrome. (7/287)

A novel clinical entity characterized by ST segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3), incomplete or complete right bundle branch block, and susceptibility to ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death has been described by Brugada et al. in 1992. This disease is now frequently called "Brugada syndrome" (BrS). The prevalence of BrS in the general population is unknown. The suggested prevalence ranges from 5/1,000 (Caucasians) to 14/1,000 (Japanese). Syncope, typically occurring at rest or during sleep (in individuals in their third or fourth decades of life) is a common presentation of BrS. In some cases, tachycardia does not terminate spontaneously and it may degenerate into ventricular fibrillation and lead to sudden death. Both sporadic and familial cases have been reported and pedigree analysis suggests an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. In approximately 20% of the cases BrS is caused by mutations in the SCN5A gene on chromosome 3p21-23, encoding the cardiac sodium channel, a protein involved in the control of myocardial excitability. Since the use of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the only therapeutic option of proven efficacy for primary and secondary prophylaxis of cardiac arrest, the identification of high-risk subjects is one of the major goals in the clinical decision-making process. Quinidine may be regarded as an adjunctive therapy for patients at higher risk and may reduce the number of cases of ICD shock in patients with multiple recurrences.  (+info)

Brugada syndrome. (8/287)

First introduced as a new clinical entity in 1992, the Brugada syndrome is associated with a relatively high risk of sudden death in young adults, and occasionally in children and infants. Recent years have witnessed a striking proliferation of papers dealing with the clinical and basic aspects of the disease. Characterized by a coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads of the electrocardiogram (ECG), the Brugada syndrome has a genetic basis that thus far has been linked only to mutations in SCN5A, the gene that encodes the alpha-subunit of the sodium channel. The Brugada ECG is often concealed, but can be unmasked or modulated by a number of drugs and pathophysiological states including sodium channel blockers, a febrile state, vagotonic agents, tricyclic antidepressants, as well as cocaine and propranolol intoxication. Average age at the time of initial diagnosis or sudden death is 40 +/- 22, with the youngest patient diagnosed at 2 days of age and the oldest at 84 years. This review provides an overview of the clinical, genetic, molecular, and cellular aspects of the Brugada syndrome, incorporating the results of two recent consensus conferences. Controversies with regard to risk stratification and newly proposed pharmacologic strategies are discussed.  (+info)

OBJECTIVES: The PRELUDE (PRogrammed ELectrical stimUlation preDictive valuE) prospective registry was designed to assess the predictive accuracy of sustained ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VTs/VF) inducibility and to identify additional predictors of arrhythmic events in Brugada syndrome patients without history of VT/VF.. BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is a genetic disease associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Even though its value has been questioned, inducibility of VTs/VF is widely used to select candidates to receive a prophylactic implantable defibrillator, and its accuracy has never been addressed in prospective studies with homogeneous enrolling criteria.. METHODS: Patients with a spontaneous or drug-induced type I electrocardiogram (ECG) and without history of cardiac arrest were enrolled. The registry included 308 consecutive individuals (247 men, 80%; median age 44 years, range 18 to 72 years). Programmed electrical stimulation was performed at ...

Background: Brugada syndrome is an arrythmogenic disease characterized by a particular electrocardiogram pattern and an increased risk for sudden cardiac death due to ventricular tachyarrythmias. The ventricular tachyarrythmias usually occur at night, which is suggesting an influence of the autonomic nervous system. This study evaluated the changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and QT dynamics in patients with Brugada syndrome.. Methods: 20 patients with Brugada syndrome (B) (all men, age 48 years) and 43 patients for control group (C) (all men, age 53 years) were enrolled. HRV and the relationships between QT and RR intervals were analyzed from 24-hour Holter ECG data using automatic measurement system. Signal averaged waves from the vector magnitude lead were obtained by the summation of consecutive sinus beats during each 30-second period for 24 hours. QT were plotted against the corresponding mean RR interval and their slopes were calculated as QT-RR.. Results: The mean heart rate was low ...

Enhanced Na+ Channel Intermediate Inactivation in Brugada Syndrome | Circulation Research  Enhanced Na+ Channel Intermediate Inactivation in Brugada Syndrome | Circulation Research
Brugada syndrome is a rare but highly informative condition of susceptibility to potentially lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmias that provides an important model for understanding the pathomechanism underlying more common arrhythmia syndromes.22 23 Perhaps the most attractive and well-substantiated hypothesis to explain the cellular basis of Brugada syndrome involves reduced myocardial Na+ current and the resultant imbalance of inward and outward currents particularly in the right ventricular epicardium where disproportionate expression of the transient outward current creates a transmural voltage gradient and dispersion of repolarization.8 24 This hypothesis has been validated by experimental animal models and by computational methods.9 12 The theory helps to explain the characteristic ECG pattern observed in patients with Brugada syndrome, provides a basis for understanding the effects of Na+-channel blocking agents to aggravate this phenotype, and may illustrate mechanisms underlying acquired ...

The ECG patterns associated with typical Brugada syndrome were first reported by Martini et al. (17). Subsequent studies showed 3 different types of ECG changes to be associated with Brugada syndrome based on the morphology in V1 and V2 (18). Type-1 ECG is characterized by a ≥2-mm J-point elevation, coved type ST-T segment elevation, and inverted T-wave in leads V1 and V2 (Fig. 1A). Type-2 ECG is characterized by a ≥2-mm J-point elevation, ≥1-mm ST-segment elevation, saddleback ST-T segment, and a positive or biphasic T-wave. Type-3 ECG is the same as type 2, except that the ST-segment elevation is ,1 mm. Among these 3 types of ECGs, only the type 1 is diagnostic of Brugada syndrome. A simple method to document type-1 ECG is to move the V1 lead from the third intercostals space to the second intercostals space. However, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis established with upward displacement of leads are unknown. Another method is to take an ECG after a large meal (19), ...

INTRODUCTION: Loss-of-function mutations in the SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel are responsible for Brugada syndrome (BS) and also for progressive cardiac conduction disease (inherited Lenègre disease). In an attempt to clarify the frontier between these two entities, we have characterized cardiac conduction defect and its evolution with aging in a cohort of 78 patients carrying a SCN5A mutation linked to Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: Families were included in the study if a SCN5A mutation was identified in a BS proband and if at least two family members were mutation carriers. Sixteen families met the study criteria, representing 78 carriers. Resting ECG showed a spontaneous BS ECG pattern in 28 of 78 (36%) gene carriers. Intraventricular conduction anomalies were identified in 59 of 78 gene carriers including complete (17) or incomplete (24) right bundle branch block, right bundle branch block plus hemiblock (6), left bundle branch block (1), hemiblock (1), and parietal block

As a result of exhaustive investigation on the subject, some of the genetic basis and pathophysiologic substrate of arrhythmias in BS have been unravelled. Mutations in 4 genes have been linked to BS: SCN5A, encoding for the α-subunit of the cardiac sodium (Na+) channel31 , and resulting in loss of function of the mentioned channel by different mechanisms32 (being responsible for up to 30% of BS cases5) ; glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1-like gene (GPD1L), which reduce the inward Na+ current by affecting the trafficking of the cardiac Na+ channel to the cell surface33, 34; finally, mutations in genes encoding the α1-(CACNA1C) and β- (CACNB2b) subunits of the L-type cardiac calcium (Ca+2) channel result in a combined Brugada/short QT syndrome35 (it has not been established yet which percentage of BS patients present these three last types of mutations ...

By Walker, Dennis D Johnson, Monica L; Craig-Gray, Robert W; Loyd, Frank ABSTRACT Introduction: Brugada syndrome describes a subgroup of patients at risk for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death and is likely underdiagnosed among aviators. Case Report: A 40-year-old male pilot presented to the clinic for his physical. He denied any symptoms on initial questioning. Subsequent electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed premature ventricular couplets with ST-segment elevation in V^sub 1^ and V^sub 2^ of the precordial leads with T-wave abnormalities. Discussion: Special care must be taken if ECG demonstrates a Brugada pattern-especially in patients with a history of syncope or a family history of sudden death. Recent studies have confirmed a significant risk reduction in symptomatic patients with type 1 Brugada to as low as 0.8% to 3% with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. Conclusion: Symptomatic patients displaying type 1 Brugada ECG (spontaneous ...

The prevalence varies between 5-50:10.000, largely depending on geographic location. In some southeast Asian countries the disease is considered endemic and believed to be the second cause of death among young men (after car accidents). In these countries Brugada syndrome is believed to underly (in part) the Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome (SUDS). This relation has, however, not been thoroughly investigated and there are almost no epidemiological studies into Brugada syndrome ECGs (apart from Japan). In different Asian countries, different names have been given to SUDS: in the Phillipines it is called bangungut (to rise and moan in sleep) and in Thailand lai tai (death during sleep ...

The cellular mechanisms believed to underlie Brugada syndrome evolved on a parallel but separate track from that of the clinical syndrome. The concepts of all-or-none repolarization of the ventricular epicardial action potential and of phase 2 reentry were developed in the early 1990s (25-27). It was on a bus ride to the airport following a meeting of the International Society of Computerized Electrocardiography (ISCE) in Florida that Dr. Antzelevitch, fortuitously seated next to Dr. Phillipe Coumel, expressed surprise that there was apparently no clinical counterpart to phase 2 reentry as a mechanism of arrhythmogenesis. After some discussion, Dr. Coumel suggested that Dr. Antzelevitch contact the Brugada brothers, who had recently described a syndrome with somewhat similar characteristics. The rest, as they say, is history. Drs. Antzelevitch, Pedro, Josep, and Ramon Brugada, Jeffrey Towbin, and Kolawanee Nademanee have worked as a cohesive team since the mid 1990s..

We describe a single, large SCN5A-linked family with phenotypic characteristics of both LQT3 and Brugada syndrome in the same patients. QT-interval prolongation and abnormal T-wave configuration are seen particularly at slow heart rates, and as shown previously in individual patients in this family, normalization occurs as rate increases.12 Similar steep APD- and QT-rate relationships have been observed in LQT3 patients7 and in experimental models mimicking LQT3.17 It is likely that normal K+ currents result in physiological or supraphysiological cardiac repolarization during fast rates in these patients. In contrast, incomplete inactivation of INa (as a result of mutation in the SCN5A gene) results in abnormal repolarization at slow rates.7 9 Further compounding the QT abnormality is the bradycardia seen in affected patients (Figure 4⇑), as has been reported for other LQT3 patients.10 It is likely that these bradycardia-induced QT-interval abnormalities and resultant torsade de pointes ...

This months EKG contender, Brugada syndrome (BS), is one of those findings that will elude many if not most EPs. This is a relatively new and rare entity, but one that is currently the object of much interest to the erudite cardiologists who study such things. This syndrome is not an expected pickup by ED clinicians, at least not yet, but if youre perceptive enough to spot it, you will certainly look like a star ...

ECG of the Week: ECG of the Week - 15th July 2013 - Interpretation  ECG of the Week: ECG of the Week - 15th July 2013 - Interpretation
But the concern is not so much with classic cases as the one presented here - in which the need for immediate referral to Cardiology for AICD placement after resuscitation from VFib is obvious. Instead - the much more prevalent issue is what to do with all the not-quite-Brugada-pattern ECGs that show saddleback (rather than downsloping) ST segment elevation in anterior leads - or perhaps hint of more than a simple rSr in V1 with high J-point takeoff - and in addition present with a history of perhaps questionable presyncope - equivocal family history of sudden death - and/or perhaps manifest background "benign" early repolarization on 12-lead (that might not be so "benign" ). "Rarity" is a relative term. We are increasingly appreciating the legion of other conditions that may intermittently precipitate Brugada-like ECG manifestations - including fever, various drugs, stress, hot baths, hypokalemia, other severe medical illness. What clinical implications are for these intermittent Brugada-like ...

Brugada syndrome - Genetics Home Reference - NIH  Brugada syndrome - Genetics Home Reference - NIH
Brugada syndrome can be caused by mutations in one of several genes. The most commonly mutated gene in this condition is SCN5A, which is altered in approximately 30 percent of affected individuals. This gene provides instructions for making a sodium channel, which normally transports positively charged sodium atoms (ions) into heart muscle cells. This type of ion channel plays a critical role in maintaining the hearts normal rhythm. Mutations in the SCN5A gene alter the structure or function of the channel, which reduces the flow of sodium ions into cells. A disruption in ion transport alters the way the heart beats, leading to the abnormal heart rhythm characteristic of Brugada syndrome.. Mutations in other genes can also cause Brugada syndrome. Together, these other genetic changes account for less than two percent of cases of the condition. Some of the additional genes involved in Brugada syndrome provide instructions for making proteins that ensure the correct location or function of sodium ...

INTRODUCTION: New onset of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in asymptomatic patients with Brugada-type ECG is not frequent, but it cannot be negligible. Risk markers for predicting VF are usually based on results of analysis in symptomatic patients, and they have not been determined for asymptomatic patients. We analyzed ECG markers in patients with Brugada syndrome to differentiate the risk factors for VF in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. METHODS: The subjects were 471 patients with Brugada syndrome and we divided the subjects into two groups: Asymptomatic group (n = 326) and Symptomatic group (syncope: n = 122, VF: n = 23 ...

Results Subjects without PPL were excluded before analyses. Demographic features and mean number of PPL according to site of body were summarized in Table-1. Mean number of total PPL were similar between BS and HS and significantly higher than in RA (p,0.001). Mean number of total PPL according to sex were similar in RA and HS but higher in male BS patients compared to female BS patients (p=0.04). When we analyzed the number of PPL according to different body sites, we observed that BS patients had significantly more lesions on the legs when compared to the RA patients and HS (p,0.0001). Number of PPL lesions tend to decrease as the patient ages in BS similar to RA and HS. When leg lesions were analyzed according to age, this difference remained in the age groups 31-50 and ,50 but not in the age group ≤30. Corticosteroid use did not impact the results. ...

Disorder-specific approaches to screening for inherited cardiac diseases, descri  Disorder-specific approaches to screening for inherited cardiac diseases, descri
Brugada ECGs have been characterised into three patterns (Figure 1). A type 1 Brugada ECG has coved ST elevation of , 0.2mm followed by a negative T-wave (Figure 1A). A downsloping ST segment from an elevated J point with an STJ/ST80 (80ms after J point) ratio ,1 is found in the Type 1 ECG pattern. The type 2 ECG has a saddleback morphology with high take-off ST elevation followed by a biphasic (Figure 1B) or positive (Figure 1C) T-wave. A type 3 ECG has either a coved or saddleback morphology with J point elevation ,2mm but the terminal portion of ST segment ,1mm. Type 2 and Type 3 patterns can be confused with partial RBBB but measuring the angle between the upslope of the S wave and downslope of the r wave (β in Figure 2) can be helpful with an angle ,58° having a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 87% in those without structural heart disease (12). Pharmacological testing with a class 1C antiarrhythmic such as Ajmaline can unmask the typical ECG, however it is non-diagnostic in up to ...

Mutations of SCN5A gene, which encodes the α-subunit of the voltage-gated Na+ channel NaV1.5, underlie hereditary cardiac arrhythmic syndromes such as the type 3 long QT syndrome, cardiac conduction diseases, the Brugada syndrome, the sick sinus syndrome, atrial standstill and numerous overlap syndromes. Patch-clamp studies in heterologous expression systems have provided important information to understand the genotype-phenotype relationships of these diseases. However, they could not clarify how SCN5A mutations can be responsible for such a large spectrum of diseases, for the late age of onset or the progressiveness of some of these diseases and for the overlapping syndromes. Genetically modified mice rapidly appeared as promising tools for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiac SCN5A-related arrhythmic syndromes and several mouse models have been established. This paper reviews some of the results obtained on these models that, for most of them, recapitulate the clinical

The only treatment proven to be effective for Brugada syndrome is implantation of an Automated Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (AICD). AICD implantation is a Class I recommendation for any patients who have suffered aborted cardiac death and for any patients who have suffered seizure, syncope, or had nocturnal agonal respirations without an obvious noncardiac cause. Implantation of an AICD is otherwise considered a Class II recommendation in the following patients: 1.) those who have had a syncopal, seizure, or agonal respiration event AND who had only drug-induced (via Na-channel blocker) Type 1 Brugada EKG, 2.) Asymptomatic patients with a family history of SCD and a spontaneous OR drug-induced Type 1 Brugada EKG ...

Aim: To investigate the interacting effects of age and sex on electrocardiographic (ECG) features of Scn5a +/- mice modelling Brugada syndrome. Methods: Recordings were performed on anaesthetized wild-type (WT) and Scn5a +/- mice and differences attributable to these risk factors statistically stratified. Results: Scn5a +/- exerted sex-dependent effects upon sino-atrial function that only became apparent with age. RR intervals were greater in old male than in old female Scn5a +/- . Atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction was slower in young female mice, whether WT and Scn5a +/- , than the corresponding young male WT and Scn5a +/- . However, PR intervals lengthened with age in male but not in female Scn5a +/- giving the greatest PR intervals in old male Scn5a +/- compared with either old male WT or young male Scn5a +/- mice. In contrast, PR intervals were similar in old female Scn5a +/- and in old female WT. QTc was prolonged in Scn5a +/- compared with WT, and female Scn5a +/- compared with female WT. Age

The week that I worried I had a rare genetic disease « Genomes Unzipped  The week that I worried I had a rare genetic disease « Genomes Unzipped
The cardiologist reported that I had a somewhat abnormal EKG pattern, consistent with Brugada syndrome, an autosomal dominant genetic disease most notable (to me) for the fact that its primary symptom is sudden cardiac death. However, the particular EKG pattern I had was not diagnostic, and indeed is sometimes reported as a normal variant [1].. I agreed that it seemed reasonable to do a more diagnostic test. The cardiologist explained the possibilities to me, one of which entailed something along the lines of inserting electrodes through a vein directly into my heart. I, of course, asked why he couldnt just sequence the bloody gene.. As it turns out, its not quite that simple- the test, if done commercially, costs over five thousand dollars (Im ashamed to admit I hadnt really totally realized how absurd prices for genetic testing are until I looked that up), but more importantly, mutations in the known causal genes can be found in only something like 30% of patients with the syndrome. Still, ...

Non-Vagal Syncope and Saddleback Morphology in V2  Non-Vagal Syncope and Saddleback Morphology in V2
Very interesting. I read the articles, also. I just have a problem with any recommendation that requires that I be successfully resuscitated from a cardiac arrest caused by a KNOWN entity that I am KNOWN to have and that is KNOWN to cause cardiac arrest before an ICD should be recommended. In this case, it is a fact that around 3% of these people with confirmed Brugada Type 1 are going to arrest. What I really have a problem with is the rather strange assumption that these people are going to be in a place where they can be immediately resuscitated and, even if they are, that the resuscitation attempt will be successful. I really believe there are ethical issues here.. ReplyDelete ...

The main finding of this study is that abnormal ST segment elevation was presented following administration of class Ic drugs in five patients who experienced no previous syncope or ventricular fibrillation. Although the ST segment elevation was similar to that found in the Brugada syndrome, the relation between the ECG changes and the incidence of serious arrhythmias has not yet been sufficiently clarified. The mechanism of ST segment elevation in conjunction with the relevance of sodium channel blocking effects is discussed.. Class Ic drugs are known to be effective for the treatment of various arrhythmias.11 On the other hand, proarrhythmic effects and other adverse effects7 12 have also been reported. Recently, some cases of ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads following administration of class Ic drug were reported by our group5-7 and others.8 9 In recent studies, the mechanisms of ST segment elevation in the Brugada syndrome are thought to derive from the transmural ...

Paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation  Paroxysmal ventricular fibrillation
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is said to cause more than 300,000 sudden deaths each year in the US alone. In approximately 5 to 12% of cases, there are no demonstrable cardiac or noncardiac causes to account for the episode, which is therefore classified as idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Patients with a distinct form of VF called Brugada syndrome (see {601144}) present with a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern, with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and elevation of ST segment in leads V1 to V3 and may account for 40 to 60% of all IVF cases (review by {3:Chen et al., 1998}). Mutations in the SCN5A gene were identified in patients with Brugada syndrome-1 ({601144 ...

In this study we have shown that over one-third (36%) of novel missense variants identified in large cohorts of patients with CPVT (RYR2) and BrS (SCN5A) can be annotated by paralogue mutations. This additional evidence of pathogenicity may allow us to reclassify as disease causing up to one-third of variants currently reported as variants of unknown significance, with a positive PPV exceeding 98%.10 There is a bias towards reporting pathogenic variants over benign variants in the literature, and although we have supplemented literature reports with data from 1000 Genomes and the Exome Sequencing Project, it is possible that these PPV values may be overestimated. However, as these data derive from clinically observed genotype-phenotype relationships within closely related protein families, rather than theoretical predictions based on the sequence and structure of much more distantly related proteins, we have confidence in this approach and these annotations.. In a clinical setting, the ...

Background- We and others have reported mutations in the cardiac predominant sodium channel gene SCN5A in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We also have reported that SCN1B is associated with Brugada syndrome and isolated cardiac conduction disease. We tested the hypothesis that mutations in the 4 sodium channel β-subunit genes SCN1B-SCN4B contribute to AF susceptibility.. Methods and Results- Screening for mutations in the 4 β-subunit genes was performed in 480 patients with AF (118 patients with lone AF and 362 patients with AF and cardiovascular disease) and 548 control subjects (188 ethnically defined anonymized subjects and 360 subjects without AF). The effects of mutant β-subunits on SCN5A mediated currents were studied using electrophysiological studies. We identified 2 nonsynonymous variants in SCN1B (resulting in R85H, D153N) and 2 in SCN2B (R28Q, R28W) in patients with AF. These occur at residues highly conserved across mammals and were absent in control subjects. In 3 of 4 ...

It was decided that the changes were due to Brugada-like pattern due to Na channel blockaid from flecanide in the setting of recent poor PO intake, nausea and vomiting. Elevated troponin was due to recent ablation. The nausea and vomiting were attributed to dabigatran, which the patient had not tolerated well in the past (she had previously had such GI symptoms). The patient was admitted to telemetry, her Na was replaced with IV fluids, flecainide was discontinued. Metoprolol was started, dabigatran discontinued, and rivaroxaban was started. ECG returned to baseline - incomplete RBBB was still present. Serial troponins remained stable at a low but elevated level. The patient had an uneventful hospital stay. ...

Clinical Aspects (Hilary Vernon, MD), Cardiolipin (Michael Schlame, MD), and Molecular Physiology of Barth Syndrome (William T. Pu, PhD). It is estimated that fewer than 10 patients are diagnosed with Barth Syndrome (BS) in the US every year. Abnormalities of CL have been linked to many common diseases, however BS remains the only mendelian disorder. This X-linked disorder is caused by pathogenic variants among the tafazzin (TAZ) gene. Among various clinically significant findings from three research labs focused on BS, Michael Schlames lab found the drug Resveratrol (RSV) able to stabilize cardiolipin (CL) in BS patients. RSV has also been known to improve fatty acid oxidation and respiratory chain defects. Research presented by William Pu further suggested that excess ROS generated in BS could describe calcium abnormalities that relate to cardiomyopathy/arrhythmias frequently observed in patients. Notable research presented by Hilary Vernon included vast biochemical analysis, such as how CL ...

The classic finding here is the "j-wave" found in V1->V3 at the end of the QRS complex. The "J-point" is where the QRS ends and the ST segment begins. This EKG is classic for a profoundly positive (>2 mm) J wave (not just J point) with its associated convex-up ST segment, followed by a negative last 1/2 of the T wave, suggestive of a Type I Brugada syndrome. More can be found about the EKG criteria here. Realize the ST segment and J-wave amplitude can be dynamic, so if they are not as prominent as this, a Type I antiarrhythmic can be used to provoke the findings - hence the procainamide, flecainide, or ajmaline challenge tests. ...

Cardio Rhythms Online: Ventricular Conduction Disturbances  Cardio Rhythms Online: Ventricular Conduction Disturbances
As the terminology implies this is a block in the right bundle branch. Does this cause the heart to slow down like we see in some AV blocks? No, because we still have the left bundle working the electrical impulse simply travels down the left side and then spreads across to the right ventricle. Ok, its not as efficient as both bundles working at the same time, but its still enough to make both ventricles contract albeit in a different direction from the norm and with a slight delay. How does this manifest on the ECG? Well, perhaps the most obvious sign is a change in the QRS morphology in the right precordial leads - namely the typical RSR pattern. Why the RSR pattern? Well, its all about vectors. The second R wave is produced by the wave of depolarisation spreading from the left ventricle to the right ventricle i.e. toward the right precordial leads. Anything that moves toward a lead will produce a positive complex. Dont forget that in a normal ECG V1 should be predominantly negative. There ...

The ECG This ECG is quite challenging, as it illustrates the helpfulness of ECG changes in patient diagnosis, and also points out how important clinical correlation is when the ECG suggests multiple different problems. Forgive me in advance, but there is a lot to say about this ECG.. The heart rate is 148 bpm, and the rhythm is regular, although not perfectly. P waves are not seen, even though the ECG machine gives a P wave axis and PR interval measurement. The rate is fast enough to bury the P waves in the preceding T waves, especially if there is first-degree AV block. Differential dx: sinus tachycardia, PSVT, atrial flutter. The very ...

Heart structural gene causes sudden cardiac death in animal model The presence or absence of the CAP2 gene causes sudden cardiac death in mice. In particular, the absence of the gene interrupts the animals ability to send electrical signals to the heart to tell it to contract, a condition called cardiac conduction disease. Since humans have the same CAP2 gene, what we learn from the mice could advance our understanding of heart disease. ...

Hi Lydia- I hadnt specifically heard of this syndrome, but I did come across Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes recently while researching medical foundations, and I see Brugada is one of those. I first heard of SADS when Irish footballer Cormac McAnallen died suddenly in his sleep a few years ago- he had only recently toured Australia with the national team, and many of us down here had admired his great sportsmanship, and were so surprised and sad when he passed. ...

There are few areas in cardiology in which the impact of genetics and genetic testing on clinical management has been as great as in cardiac channelopathies,arrhythmic disorders of genetic origin related to the ionic control of the cardiac action potential. Among the growing number of diseases identified as channelopathies,3 are sufficiently prevalent to represent significant clinical and societal problems and to warrant adequate understanding by practicing cardiologists: long QT syndrome,catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia,and Brugada syndrome. This review will focus selectively on the impact of genetic discoveries on clinical management of these 3 diseases. For each disorder,we will discuss to what extent genetic knowledge and clinical genetic test results modify the way cardiologists should approach and manage affected patients. We will also address the optimal use of genetic testing,including its potential limitations and the potential medico-legal implications when such ...

PMARP - Clinical: Postmortem Arrhythmia Panel  PMARP - Clinical: Postmortem Arrhythmia Panel
PMARP : Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is estimated to occur at an incidence of between 50 to 100 per 100,000 individuals in North America and Europe each year, claiming between 250,000 and 450,000 lives in the United States annually. In younger individuals (ages 15-35), the incidence of SCD is between 1 to 2 per 100,000 young individuals. The reported incidence of SCD is likely an underestimate since more overt causes of death, such as car accidents and drownings, may result from arrhythmogenic events. In cases of sudden unexplained death where autopsy does not detect a structural basis for sudden death, a hereditary arrhythmia may be suspected. Brugada syndrome (BrS) and long QT syndrome (LQTS) are inherited forms of cardiac arrhythmia that may cause sudden cardiac death. Postmortem diagnosis of a hereditary arrhythmia may assist in confirmation of the cause and manner of death, as well as risk assessment in living family members.   BrS is a genetic cardiac disorder characterized by ST segment

Sudden Cardiac Death and Grief  Sudden Cardiac Death and Grief
Sudden death in a young person is a devastating event for any family. Unfortunately, in many cases this can be the first presentation of an underlying heart condition in an otherwise healthy person. A range of inherited heart conditions can cause sudden death and therefore it is important to investigate family members following such an event. Inherited heart conditions can be broadly grouped into causing one of two types of problems in the heart - electrical or structural. Electrical problems include long QT and Brugada syndromes, while structural problems include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.. When a person dies suddenly, a post-mortem (also known as an autopsy) is often performed to determine why they died. Some heart conditions are more easily diagnosed at post-mortem than others. In particular, structural causes of sudden death can be determined at post-mortem since the heart may be thickened, enlarged or structures within the heart, such as ...

Heart Structural Gene Causes Sudden Cardiac Death in Animal Model - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com  Heart Structural Gene Causes Sudden Cardiac Death in Animal Model - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Studies of some children with a rare developmental problem, called 6p22 syndrome, hint that this gene is associated with similar cardiac issues in people. These children have deep-set eyes and cardiac problems that are not well defined. "Almost all of these children are born with a deletion of one of their copies of the CAP2 gene," Field noted.. Knowing this connection, the researchers generated mice that would exhibit only cardiac conduction disease (CCD). They reinstated the gene but this time engineered it so they could knock it out again, but this time only in the hearts of the mice. "It took close to five years to perfect this mouse model that exhibited only the heart knockout," Field said. The researchers could then conduct experiments targeting only the heart problem, because all the other symptoms, such as the eye problems, were out of the picture.. The mice once again developed CCD, leading to sudden cardiac death from complete heart block, but there was an extra surprise this time. The ...

Diffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction | Andreou | Cardiology Journal  Diffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction | Andreou | Cardiology Journal
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and STE in the inferior, all precordial and right chest leads, in whom the diffuse precordial STE was probably mistakenly regarded as showing anterior MI. However, the STE resolution in V1-V2 and late R wave in V1, which were combined with a recanalized RV branch, favored the RV origin of this STE. Furthermore, the LADA was patent when V3-V6 showed severe ischemia, while its lesion was angiographically stable. Thus its simultaneous occlusion was unlikely. The late R wave in V1 indicates RV transmural conduction delay;as highlighted herein, it is diagnostic of a RV myocardial infarction. (Cardiol J 2010; 17, ...

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective potential of Galangin on Doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity in rats.. Methods: Albino rats used in this experiment were pretreated with vehicle, Galangin (100 & 200µg/kg) and Vit-C (20 mg/kg) for 28 days. On 25th day, a single dose of Doxorubicin (10 mg/kg, i. p) was administered to groups. After 72 h of Doxorubicin administration, ECG, serum and tissues biomarkers were evaluated. Histopathological examination of the heart was performed.. Results: Doxorubicin treated rats exhibited abnormal ECG pattern followed by significant increase in CK-MB, LDH, SGOT, SGPT and LPO level and decrease in GSH, CAT, TT when compared to control rats. Pretreatment with different doses of Galangin and Vit-C significantly reduced the serum biomarkers and increased the tissue antioxidant level when compared to Doxorubicin alone treated groups. Moreover, pretreatment also improved Doxorubicin induced changes in ECG pattern and ...

Review Guitar Player USA. The BeatBuddy is the monster smash hit that I never saw coming. Dont ever ask me if your song is a "sure thing," or if your favorite sports team will go on to wear championship rings. But lets jettison the marketing stats and look at the form and function. As a musical device, the BeatBuddy is still pretty monstrous. The stompbox configuration is genius for anyone wanting a compact drum machine on their pedalboard, and the chassis and treadle are gig tough. I stomped all over that sucker and never had a fail.. All the information you need is readily at hand: song name, song style, time signature, the part being played, the current drum set, volume, and tempo, and a moving bar shows where the beat is in the measure. For spontaneous types, changes on the fly are a breeze- just tap in a tempo, twist a knob for Volume, Drum Set, or Tempo, or push a button (to scroll through menus). An optional footswitch can take some of the punishment away from the pedal itself and also ...

Figure caption and citation for the preceding image starts]: Sustained (monomorphic) ventricular tachycardia From the collection of Prof Sei Iwai; used with permission [Citation ends]. VT is defined as a wide complex tachycardia (QRS 120 milliseconds or greater) that originates from one of the ventricles, and is not due to aberrant conduction (e.g., from bundle branch block), at a rate of 100 bpm or greater. Idiopathic VT occurs in the absence of apparent structural heart disease (e.g., prior MI, active ischemia, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, or other disorders of the myocardium), known channelopathy (e.g., long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic VT, short QT syndrome), drug toxicity, or electrolyte imbalance. VT can be described as monomorphic or polymorphic. Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic VT with a characteristic twisting morphology occurring in the setting of QT interval ...

Unique sleep disorders profile of a population-based sample of 747 Hmong immigrants in Wisconsin  Unique sleep disorders profile of a population-based sample of 747 Hmong immigrants in Wisconsin
Downloadable (with restrictions)! Concerns regarding sleep disorders in Hmong immigrants in the US emerged when an astonishingly high mortality rate of Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) was documented in Hmong men. Stress, genetics, and cardiac abnormalities interacting with disordered sleep were hypothesized as contributing factors to SUNDS. Most recently, sleep apnea has been implicated in nighttime deaths of Brugada Syndrome. This syndrome is thought to comprise a spectrum of sudden cardiac death disorders, including SUNDS. However, little research since has placed SUNDS in its context of Hmong cultural beliefs, health, or the prevalence of other sleep disorders. Because the epidemiology of sleep disorders and terrifying nighttime experiences in Hmong is poorly documented, we investigated the prevalence and correlates of sleep apnea, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage related disorders, and insomnia in 3 population-based samples (collected from 1996 to 2001) comprising 747 Hmong

The recognition of proper and improper function of implanted electronic pacemakers utilized for cardiac stimulation may be aided by a knowledge of how they function and their effect on the electrocardiographic tracing. The electrocardiograms of patients with fixed rate, demand, atrial synchronous, and ventricular synchronous pacemakers are described. Pacemaker malfunction may arise at a number of points within the pacemaker itself or from failure of the electrical impulse to be conducted to the myocardium. Careful analysis of the electrocardiographic patterns may permit an accurate diagnosis of pacemaker malfunction even before symptoms develop. Electrocardiographic examples are analyzed and discussed. ...

Ventricular fibrillation - Wikipedia  Ventricular fibrillation - Wikipedia
Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib or VF) is when the heart quivers instead of pumping due to disorganized electrical activity in the ventricles. It is a type of cardiac arrhythmia. Ventricular fibrillation results in cardiac arrest with loss of consciousness and no pulse. This is followed by death in the absence of treatment. Ventricular fibrillation is found initially in about 10% of people in cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation can occur due to coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, electric shock, or intracranial hemorrhage. Diagnosis is by an electrocardiogram (ECG) showing irregular unformed QRS complexes without any clear P waves. An important differential diagnosis is torsades de pointes. Treatment is with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. Biphasic defibrillation may be better than monophasic. The medication epinephrine or amiodarone may be given if initial treatments are not effective. Rates of survival ...
