Journal ArticleDOI
Brugada Syndrome: Report of the Second Consensus Conference Endorsed by the Heart Rhythm Society and the European Heart Rhythm Association
Charles Antzelevitch,Pedro Brugada,Martin Borggrefe,Josep Brugada,Ramon Brugada,Domenico Corrado,Ihor Gussak,Herve LeMarec,Koonlawee Nademanee,Andrés Ricardo Pérez Riera,Wataru Shimizu,Eric Schulze-Bahr,H.L. (Hanno) Tan,Arthur A.M. Wilde +13 more
TL;DR: The present report elaborates further on the diagnostic criteria and examines risk stratification schemes and device and pharmacological approaches to therapy on the basis of the available clinical and basic science data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic basis and molecular mechanism for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
Qiuyun Chen,Glenn E. Kirsch,Danmei Zhang,Ramon Brugada,Josep Brugada,Pedro Brugada,Domenico Potenza,Angel Moya,Martin Borggrefe,Günter Breithardt,Rocio Ortiz-Lopez,Zhiqing Wang,Charles Antzelevitch,Richard E. O'Brien,Eric Schulze-Bahr,Mark T. Keating,Jeffrey A. Towbin,Qing Wang +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that sodium channels with the missense mutation recover from inactivation more rapidly than normal and that the frameshift mutation causes the sodium channel to be non-functional.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sudden death associated with short-QT syndrome linked to mutations in HERG.
Ramon Brugada,Kui Hong,Robert Dumaine,Jonathan M. Cordeiro,Fiorenzo Gaita,Martin Borggrefe,Teresa M. Menendez,Josep Brugada,Guido D. Pollevick,Christian Wolpert,Elena Burashnikov,Kiyotaka Matsuo,Yue Sheng Wu,Alejandra Guerchicoff,Francesca Bianchi,Carla Giustetto,Rainer Schimpf,Pedro Brugada,Charles Antzelevitch +18 more
TL;DR: The genetic basis for a new clinical entity characterized by sudden death and short-QT intervals in the ECG is described and a novel genetic and biophysical mechanism responsible for sudden death in infants, children, and young adults caused by mutations in KCNH2 is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium Channel Blockers Identify Risk for Sudden Death in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation and Right Bundle Branch Block but Structurally Normal Hearts
Ramon Brugada,Josep Brugada,Charles Antzelevitch,Glenn E. Kirsch,Domenico Potenza,Jeffrey A. Towbin,Pedro Brugada +6 more
TL;DR: A similar incidence of potentially lethal arrhythmias in patients displaying transient versus persistent ST-segment elevation and right bundle branch block is demonstrated, as well as the effectiveness of sodium channel blockers to unmask the syndrome and, thus, identify patients at risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proposed diagnostic criteria for the Brugada syndrome: consensus report.
Arthur A.M. Wilde,Charles Antzelevitch,Martin Borggrefe,Josep Brugada,Ramon Brugada,Pedro Brugada,Domenico Corrado,Richard N.W. Hauer,Robert S. Kass,Koonlawee Nademanee,Silvia G. Priori,Jeffrey A. Towbin +11 more
TL;DR: A number of ambiguities exist concerning the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome as mentioned in this paper, which is characterized by ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3) that is unrelated to ischemia, electrolyte disturbances, or obvious structural heart disease.
