Around 0.8% of live births are affected by some type of congenital heart disease; 30–50% of whom will need one or more surgical interventions, generally during early childhood, involving in some cases complex corrections with patches, baffles or extracardiac circuits.1,2
As a result of advances in surgical interventions, the life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease has…

Historical Precedents
Brugada syndrome (BrS) was first described more than 25 years ago as a clinical entity in people resuscitated from sudden cardiac death due to documented VF.1 The original 1992 case series described eight patients without apparent structural heart disease who all had VF associated with persistent coved ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.1 In 1996 this…

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a complex arrhythmia that leads invariably to cardiac arrest. Its mechanisms remain largely unclear. Similar to atrial fibrillation, the mother rotor hypothesis is one plausible alternative.1,2 In larger animals, some authors reported that the dominant frequency of VF could be recorded at a junction of the left ventricular posterior wall and the septum.3-6 Others…

In patients with syncope or episodes of palpitations and heart disease, an electrophysiology study (EPS) may be of value by means of potential induction of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias.1,2 Programmed ventricular stimulation may be useful in the context of risk stratification of ischaemic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 30–40 %, and there has been some evidence…

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a clinical entity identified in 1992 by Brugada brothers from a file of patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac death (SCD).1 Of these patients, some had a specific electrocardiogram (ECG) appearance characterised by an incomplete right bundle branch block associated with an ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It quickly became apparent that this…

Brugada syndrome (BS) is an inherited disease characterised by coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1–V3) and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the absence of structural heart disease.1
It typically affects otherwise healthy individuals in their forties.2 SCD is the most dramatic presentation, but many patients are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis…
