Brugada syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2005
The Brugada syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance that may cause syncope and sudden cardiac death in young individuals with a normal heart. It is characterized by an electrocardiographic pattern of complete or incomplete right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in leads V1-V3.

Current electrocardiographic criteria for diagnosis of Brugada pattern: A consensus report

open access: yes, 2012
Brugada syndrome is an inherited heart disease without structural abnormalities that is thought to arise as a result of accelerated inactivation of Na channels and predominance of transient outward K current (I-to) to generate a voltage gradient in the ...

Brugada syndrome is associated with scar and endocardial involvement: Insights from high-density mapping with the Rhythmia™ mapping system

open access: yesRevista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017
The authors report the first catheter ablation of Brugada syndrome in the literature using the Rhythmia™ mapping system. Learning points include: (1) low voltage areas can be documented while mapping in some individuals, suggesting that Brugada syndrome ...

Genetic Biomarkers in the Risk Assessment of Sudden Cardiac Events: A Personalized Approach

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetic insights into the risk assessment of sudden cardiac events. ABSTRACT Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of death worldwide. Conventional risk stratification methods, which largely depend on clinical history, imaging, and electrocardiography, are usually inadequate for identifying high‐risk individuals, especially those without visible ...

Forensic challenges in a case of suspected filicide, matricide, and post‐mortem dismemberment

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Familicide represents one of the most complex forms of domestic violence in forensic practice. Among intrafamilial homicides, filicide and matricide pose major medico‐legal and criminological challenges, particularly when autopsy findings are nonspecific or severely altered by post‐mortem changes.
