Brugada syndrome in childhood: a potential fatal arrhythmia not always recognised by paediatricians. A case report and review of the literature [PDF]
We report on a youngster followed by his paediatrician from birth until 14years of age for premature beats, most likely of ventricular origin. The sudden death of his sister provoked a re-assessment of his electrocardiograms (ECG), resulting in the ...

Mutations and SNPs of human cardiac sodium channel alpha subunit gene (SCN5A) in Japanese patients with Brugada syndrome [PDF]
Background: Brugada syndrome is an inherited arrhythmogenic disease characterized by right bundle branch block pattern and ST segment elevation, leading to the change of V1 to V3 on electrocardiogram, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death ...

Acquired Genotype‐Positive Long QT Syndrome After Pediatric Heart Transplantation
ABSTRACT Background Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is rare but significant, as it carries a risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Its diagnosis can be made clinically by serial ECGs, ambulatory ECG monitoring, and exercise stress testing; however, genetic testing is confirmatory in the majority of cases.

Intermittent Brugada syndrome in an anorexic adolescent girl [PDF]
We report an anorexic adolescent girl with an intermittent Brugada syndrome. A 14-year-old anorexic girl with a body mass index (BMI) of 13.15kg/m2 was admitted in the acute state of the disease with an ST elevation in V1 and V2, suggestive of Brugada ...

ABSTRACT Mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) is a rare but significant cause of ventricular arrhythmias in young patients. Timely diagnosis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and targeted management with catheter ablation can effectively control arrhythmias, improve patient outcomes, and prevent severe complications such as sudden cardiac death.

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Abstract The rising demand for genetic counseling has prompted the implementation of various innovative service delivery models, such as patient webinars, videos, chatbots, and the integration of genetic testing into mainstream healthcare. To ensure patients receive adequate information for informed decision‐making, validated measures to assess these ...

Citation Analysis with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) using the Web of Knowledge: A new routine [PDF]
Citation analysis of documents retrieved from the Medline database (at the Web of Knowledge) has been possible only on a case-by-case basis. A technique is here developed for citation analysis in batch mode using both Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) at the Web of Knowledge and the Science Citation Index at the Web of Science.

Electrical Storms in Brugada Syndrome: Review of Pharmacologic and Ablative Therapeutic Options [PDF]
Electrical storm occurring in a patient with the Brugada syndrome is an exceptional but malignant and potentially lethal event. Efficient therapeutic solutions should be known and urgently applied because of the inability of usual antiarrhythmic means in

Reanalysis and reclassification of rare genetic variants associated with inherited arrhythmogenic syndromes [PDF]
Background: Accurate interpretation of rare genetic variants is a challenge for clinical translation. Updates in recommendations for rare variant classification require the reanalysis and reclassification.
