Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of head-up tilt test combined with video electroencephalogram to investigate recurrent unexplained atypical transient loss of consciousness.
Sandro Ninni,Claude Kouakam,William Szurhaj,Guillaume Baille,Didier Klug,Dominique Lacroix,Philippe Derambure +6 more
TL;DR: Combined HUT/video EEG is useful for investigating recurrent unexplained atypical seizure-like T-LOC, especially in patients with a history of myoclonic jerks or with documented interictal non-specific EEG abnormalities.

Outcome of Insertable Cardiac Monitors in Symptomatic Patients with Brugada Syndrome at Low Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death.
Rafi Sakhi,Amira Assaf,Dominic A.M.J. Theuns,Judith M.A. Verhagen,Tamas Szili-Torok,Jolien W. Roos-Hesselink,Sing-Chien Yap +6 more
TL;DR: An ICM can be used to exclude ventricular arrhythmias in symptomatic patients with Brugada syndrome at low risk of SCD, and an ICM-detected arrhythmia changed clinical management in 20% of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evidence for the implantable loop recorder in patients with inherited arrhythmia syndromes: a review of the literature.
TL;DR: Evaluating the available evidence for the use of the implantable loop recorder in the IASs and in relatives of victims of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome concludes that the ILR should be considered for use in patients at low risk of sudden cardiac death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brugada Syndrome Presenting as Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia-Ventricular Fibrillation Lasting 94 Seconds Recorded on an Ambulatory Monitor.
TL;DR: Vigilance should be maintained for arrhythmia substrates such as Brugada syndrome in patients with typical symptoms when they are prescribed membrane-active medicines, and long-term ambulatory rhythm monitors can provide useful information in these cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of insertable cardiac monitors for risk stratification: current indications and clinical evidence
Amira Assaf,Dominic A.M.J. Theuns,Michelle Michels,Jolien W. Roos-Hesselink,Tamas Szili-Torok,Sing-Chien Yap +5 more
TL;DR: The 2018 ESC Syncope guidelines expanded the indications for an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) to patients with unexplained syncope and primary cardiomyopathy or inheritable arrhythmogenic disorders as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: This international consensus statement is the collaborative effort of three medical societies representing electrophysiology in North America, Europe, and Asian-Pacific area and summarizes the opinion of the international writing group members based on their own experience and on a general review of the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized syncope in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) and found that 28% of patients with BrS experienced at least 1 syncope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of implantable loop recorders in patients with Brugada syndrome and suspected risk of ventricular arrhythmia.
TL;DR: The ILR contributed to the exclusion of a ventricular arrhythmia as a mechanism of an atypical syncope in patients with electrocardiographic BS and the suspension of the ICD implant.

Cycle length characteristics differentiating non-sustained from self-terminating ventricular fibrillation in Brugada syndrome.

TL;DR: Cycle length variability and CL range could differentiate VF and ST-VF within the first 50 beats and should be considered in the algorithms for VF detection and termination.
