TLDR
The fact that an arrhythmic cause of syncope should not be ruled out in patients with BrS presenting with very prolonged loss of consciousness is emphasized.

Usefulness of head-up tilt test combined with video electroencephalogram to investigate recurrent unexplained atypical transient loss of consciousness.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outcome of Insertable Cardiac Monitors in Symptomatic Patients with Brugada Syndrome at Low Risk of Sudden Cardiac Death.

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

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 .

Executive summary: HRS/EHRA/APHRS expert consensus statement on the diagnosis and management of patients with inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

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.

Syncope in Brugada syndrome patients: prevalence, characteristics, and outcome.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
