Novel SCN5A mutation associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation due to subclinical Brugada syndrome [PDF]
Cardiogenetics, 2011 Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation can be caused by subclinical channelopathies such as Brugada syndrome. Our objective is to study the clinical behaviour of a new SCN5A mutation found in a woman with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.

Catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation using the CARTO 3 mapping system
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2015 Ventricular fibrillation in the absence of structural heart disease represents an important mechanism of sudden cardiac death. It is initiated by triggers originating in the distal Purkinje fibers, arising from either the right or the left ventricle ...

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2018 Introduction: Idiopathic short-coupled ventricular tachyarrhythmias make up a considerable proportion of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in structurally normal hearts and are the cause of 5–10% of unexpected sudden cardiac deaths.

Early Repolarization Pattern and Idiopatic Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia: an Infrequent Combination [PDF]
Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2021 Malignant early repolarization as cause of sudden death has taken on great importance in recent years. It has been described as an entity capable of producing ventricular arrhythmic events, causing from episodes of syncope to sudden cardiac death ...

Premature ventricular beats initiate recurrent ventricular fibrillation in early repolarization syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015 An early repolarization (ER) pattern on electrocardiography was historically considered a benign finding; however, this finding in the inferior and lateral leads has recently been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). Here we describe

Recurrent cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome [PDF]
BMC Medicine, 2005 Background The recurrence of cardiac events in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF) excluding patients with the Brugada syndrome is unclear since this entity remains present in previous studies. Methods Since 1992, 18 patients (72% male)

State-of-the-Art Multimodality Imaging in Sudden Cardiac Arrest with Focus on Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation: A Review. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2022 Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest and a diagnosis by exclusion. Unraveling the mechanism of ventricular fibrillation is important for targeted management, and potentially for initiating family screening.

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023 Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents approximately 50% of all cardiovascular mortality in the United States. The majority of SCD occurs in individuals with structural heart disease; however, around 5% of individuals have no identifiable cause on autopsy.
