Journal ArticleDOI
Right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation and sudden cardiac death: a distinct clinical and electrocardiographic syndrome. A multicenter report.
Pedro Brugada,Josep Brugada +1 more
TL;DR: Common clinical and ECG features define a distinct syndrome in this group of patients with recurrent episodes of aborted sudden death unexplainable by currently known diseases, not explainable by electrolyte disturbances, ischemia or structural heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Right Bundle-Branch Block and ST-Segment Elevation in Leads V1 Through V3 A Marker for Sudden Death in Patients Without Demonstrable Structural Heart Disease
TL;DR: Patients without demonstrable structural heart disease and an ECG pattern of right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation in leads V1 through V3 are at risk for sudden death and an implantable defibrillator seems to be the present treatment of choice.

Journal ArticleDOI
A new approach to the differential diagnosis of a regular tachycardia with a wide QRS complex.
TL;DR: New, simpler criteria are identified and incorporated in a stepwise approach that provides better sensitivity and specificity for making a correct diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia and may prevent diagnostic mistakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of Sudden Cardiac Death in Individuals With the Electrocardiographic Pattern of Brugada Syndrome and No Previous Cardiac Arrest
TL;DR: Inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias and a previous history of syncope are markers of a poor prognosis inIndividuals with Brugada syndrome and no previous cardiac arrest have a high risk of sudden death.
