Brugada Syndrome or Phenocopy? Diagnostic Challenge in Patients with Pectus Excavatum
Brugada syndrome is an autosomal dominant heart disease caused by dysfunctions in the ionic channels, whose carriers present a classic electrocardiographic pattern and predisposition to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. The electrocardiogram alterations

Medical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in Chagas'heart disease [PDF]
There are no controlled clinical trials evaluating drug therapy in patients with ventricular arrhythmias and chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy. Empirical treatment with disopyramide (400-1,000mg/d), phenytoin (4-6mg/d), mexiletine (600-1,200mg/d ...

Epicardial radiofrequency ablation significantly reduces recurrent ventricular arrhythmias and ICD shocks in Brugada syndrome, with excellent long‐term safety and no reported mortality. Epicardial ablation is an effective strategy for sustained rhythm stabilization. Abstract Background Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a rare cardiac channelopathy linked to an

Isotretinoin induced myopericarditis – A case report and literature review
Drug induced pericarditis is a well described entity, most commonly described secondary to hydralazine, procainamide and isoniazid. Cardiac involvement after systemic retinoic acid therapy is exceedingly rare.

Atrial fibrillation : a common arrhythmia with possible dire consequences [PDF]
The diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) is clinched on the electrocardiogram with the finding of fine baseline oscillations, absent P waves and irregular ventricular rhythm.1 It is the most common type of arrhythmia requiring medical care, with a ...
