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)

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)

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

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.

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. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p213)

(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.

Autonomic Nervous System Diseases
Diseases of the parasympathetic or sympathetic divisions of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; which has components located in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. 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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

Brugada Syndrome in an Active Duty Air Force Senior Pilot - RedorbitBrugada Syndrome in an Active Duty Air Force Senior Pilot - Redorbit
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 Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). While it is an inheritable disease, determining the true prevalence is a challenge, since patients may report no known family history of the syndrome, present with a normal spontaneous ECG pattern at the time of examination, and test negative for all known BrS-causative genes. In fact, SCD is often the first indication that a person is affected by the syndrome. Men are more likely to be symptomatic than women. Abnormal, low-voltage, fractionated electrograms have been found in the epicardium of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Ablation of this area abolishes the abnormal electrograms and helps to prevent arrhythmic recurrences. BrS patients are more likely to experience ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) during fever or during an increase in vagal tone. Isoproterenol helps to reverse the ECG BrS

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 ...

This complex interaction between the xenobiotic and patients physiology and genetic diversity is exemplified by the Brugada syndrome. This congenital cardiac channelopathy (Chaps. 15 and 57) predisposes to sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Brugada syndrome is characterized by an atypical right bundle branch pattern with a characteristic cove-shaped ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3 of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the absence or structural heart disease, ischemia, or electrolyte disturbances).10,83 This typical type 1 Brugada ECG pattern is shown in Fig. 15-12. However, this distinctive ECG pattern can be covert30 and only unmasked by sleep, fever, bradycardia, or by xenobiotics such as vagotonic medications or class I antidysrhythmics (sodium channel blockers).4,59 The reason for this variable and dynamic response to xenobiotics is the heterogeneous genetic basis of the disorder.

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..

Background:. The Brugada syndrome is a rare disease potentially leading to severe arrhythmic events in otherwise healthy subjects.In many patients an Implantable cardiovertor defibrillator (ICD) is implanted to prevent sudden cardiac death. ICD are however associated with potential complications and are not available in all countries.Pharmacological blockade of specific ion channels (Ito) represents a promising therapeutic approach in this syndrome. Experimental data show that increased Ito current may be associated with both the ECG feature and arrhythmogenic substrate observed in the syndrome. Moreover, Ito blockade reverse the ECG abnormalities and suppress arrhythmogenicity.The 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) is a pharmacological Ito blocker that is already used in humans for another indication.. Main objective:. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of 3,4-DAP on ventricular arrhythmia inducibility in Brugada patients requiring an electrophysiological study for arrhythmic risk ...

Brugada syndrome - WikipediaBrugada syndrome - Wikipedia
The abnormal heart rhythms seen in those with Brugada syndrome are typically dangerous arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, but those with BrS are also more likely to experience rapid heart rates due to less dangerous arrhythmias such as AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia[19] and abnormally slow heart rhythms such as sinus node dysfunction.[20] There are several mechanisms by which the genetic mutations causing this condition might produce these arrhythmias.[21] Some argue that the main reason these arrhythmias arise is due to abnormally slow electrical conduction in areas of the heart, specifically the right ventricle. The genetic variants associated with BrS support the concept as SCN5A, the gene most commonly associated with the condition, along with SCN10A, SCN1B, SCN2B and SCN3B, all directly affect the sodium current INa. The sodium current is a major contributor to the characteristic flow of electrical charge across the membrane of heart muscle ...

The Y1449C variant in the SCN5A gene has been reported in two individuals with Brugada syndrome (Kapplinger et al., 2010; Walsh et al., 2014). It has also been reported in one individual with a personal history suspicious for Brugada syndrome and co-segregated with Brugada syndrome in an affected parent (McMillan et al., 2014). Furthermore, it was shown to co-segregate with a spectrum of cardiac phenotypes, including conduction disease, Brugada syndrome, and atrial arrhythmia, in three relatives of another family (Hothi et al., 2015). Despite Y1449C segregating with disease in three individuals from this family, it was also identified in three asymptomatic relatives. The Y1449C variant was not observed in approximately 6300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Additionally, the Y1449C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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

AIMS: Sodium-channel blockers (SCBs) are associated with arrhythmia, but variability of cardiac electrical response remains unexplained. We sought to identify predictors of ajmaline-induced PR and QRS changes and Type I Brugada syndrome (BrS) electrocardiogram (ECG). METHODS AND RESULTS: In 1368 patients that underwent ajmaline infusion for suspected BrS, we performed measurements of 26 721 ECGs, dose-response mixed modelling and genotyping. We calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) for PR interval (PRSPR), QRS duration (PRSQRS), and Brugada syndrome (PRSBrS) derived from published genome-wide association studies and used regression analysis to identify predictors of ajmaline dose related PR change (slope) and QRS slope. We derived and validated using bootstrapping a predictive model for ajmaline-induced Type I BrS ECG. Higher PRSPR, baseline PR, and female sex are associated with more pronounced PR slope, while PRSQRS and age are positively associated with QRS slope (P , 0.01 for all). PRSBrS, ...

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. ...

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 UnzippedThe 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 V2Non-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 syndrome is caused by changes in the structure and function of certain cardiac ion channels and reduced expression of Connexin 43 (Cx43) in the Right Ventricle (RV), predominantly in the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (VSVD), causing electromechanical abnormalities. (bvsalud.org)
  • However, at present time, all the reported patients died because of the disease and submitted to detailed necropsy study, have shown a structural right ventricular pathology underlying the syndrome. (medigest.uk)
10,000 people3
  • According to the National Institutes of Health it is estimated that 5 in 10,000 people worldwide are affected by the Brugada syndrome. (medindia.net)
  • Luckily, Brugada syndrome isn't super common-it's estimated to affect five in 10,000 people around the world-but it disproportionally impacts people of Asian ancestry, as well as men. (womenshealthmag.com)
  • Brugada syndrome is rare, affecting perhaps 5 in 10,000 people worldwide, although occuring more frequently in people of Asian ancestry, particularly in Japanese and Southeast Asian populations. (snpedia.com)
Conduction3
  • Brugada syndrome is characterized by cardiac conduction abnormalities (ST-segment abnormalities in leads V 1 -V 3 on ECG and a high risk for ventricular arrhythmias) that can result in sudden death. (nih.gov)
  • Other conduction defects can include first-degree AV block, intraventricular conduction delay, right bundle branch block, and sick sinus syndrome. (nih.gov)
  • Aims Patients with Brugada syndrome (BS) often experience atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial vulnerability, as measured by increased atrial conduction time. (biomedsearch.com)
