Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy in Brugada syndrome: a 20-year single-center experience.

TLDR
ICD therapy was an effective strategy in Brugada syndrome, treating potentially lethal arrhythmias in 17% of patients during long-term follow-up, and risk stratification by electrophysiologic study may identify asymptomatic patients at risk for arrhythmic events and could be helpful in investigating syncope not related to VAs.

Right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation and sudden cardiac death: a distinct clinical and electrocardiographic syndrome. A multicenter report.

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.

Reduction in Inappropriate Therapy and Mortality through ICD Programming

TL;DR: Programming of ICD therapies for tachyarrhythmias of 200 beats per minute or higher or with a prolonged delay in therapy at 170 beats perminute or higher, as compared with conventional programming, was associated with reductions in inappropriate therapy and all-cause mortality during long-term follow-up.

Natural History of Brugada Syndrome Insights for Risk Stratification and Management

TL;DR: The information on the natural history of patients obtained in this study allowed elaboration of a risk-stratification scheme to quantify the risk for sudden cardiac death and to target the use of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

Annual rate of transvenous defibrillation lead defects in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators over a period of >10 years.

TL;DR: An increasing annual lead failure rate is noted primarily during long-term follow-up and reached 20% in 10-year-old leads during the present study.
