TL;DR: Some episodes of TdP could be avoided by careful prescribing of QT prolonging drugs, including an individualized assessment of risks and benefits before use, performing baseline and periodic electrocardiograms and measurement of electrolytes, especially during acute illnesses, using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time and avoiding potential drug interactions.

TL;DR: ATWI confined to leads V1 to V2 is a normal variant or physiological phenomenon in asymptomatic white individuals without a relevant family history, and may warrant investigation.

TL;DR: Spontaneous Brugada type 1 ECG pattern and symptoms at diagnosis are predictors of LTA events in the young affected by BrS and should become age-specific, and prevention of SCD may involve genetic testing and aggressive use of antipyretics and quinidine.

TL;DR: The Brugada-type ECG pattern, as currently defined, is uncommon in a young healthy male European population and confers a moderately elevated risk of sudden death, which underscores the need to study risk predictors in asymptomatic patients with a BrugADA- type ECG.

TL;DR: It is becoming apparent that SUDEP genomic complexity parallels that of sudden cardiac death, and that there is a pauci1ty of analytically useful postmortem material.
