1 Brugada syndrome: tests and diagnosis. Torino, 27 ottobre 2017 Ripolarizzazione precoce. Non così innocente come si pensava Carla Giustetto Carla Giustetto Divisione di Cardiologia Divisione Università di Cardiologia Torino Ospedale S.Giovanni Battista -Università di Torino Ospedale Città della Salute e della Scienza

2 Brugada syndrome: diagnosis J point 2mm Channelopathy characterized by: Coved type ST Genetic segment mutations: elevationna + channel in 15-30% of pts; Ca ++ channel, Negative K + T channel, wave GPD1L NO structural heart disease Risk of sudden death Diagnostic ECG: typical ECG alterations (V 1 -V 2 )

3 LOOP RECORDER HIDROQUINIDINE ICD

4 Brugada Piedmont Registry 826 pts 12 diagnosed after Sudden Death total 814 pts Symptoms at presentation Asymptomatic (75%) 77 (9%) 118 (15%) asd 11 (1.4%) 1% neurally mediated Torino Asti Vercelli Orbassano Rivoli Cuneo Novara Savigliano unexplained Syncope 195 (24%)

5 A 45 years old man: traumatic syncope, which occurred after awakening at 6.30 a.m, while he was in the bathroom, with doubtful prodromes 1st ECG: sinus rhythm, normal conduction, non-significant ST-T alterations

6 Head-up tilt test (HUTT) Tilt test was negative but ST segment in V1-V2 with a type 2 Brugada pattern was recorded V1 V2

7 Pt with syncope + suspect Brugada ECG (type 2) V1 V2 Which investigations are reasonable/recommended? ECG with V1-V2 at 2 nd and 3 rd intercostal space (ICS)

8 ECG 4 th ICS ECG was recorded with V1-V2 at a higher intercostal space in this case it remained doubtful, still not diagnostic V1 2 ICS V2 2 ICS

9 Which investigations are reasonable/recommended? Pt with syncope + suspect Brugada ECG pattern (type 2) ECG with V1-V2 at 2 nd and 3 rd intercostal space type 2 Brugada ECG Drug challenge with sodium channel blockers

10 Pharmacological challenge with Na + -channel blockers was performed Basal ECG V1 Ajmaline infusion (1mg/kg in 5 min) V1 V2 V2 V3 V4 V1 - II space V1 - II space V2 - II space V2 - II space

11 Summary 45 years old man syncope of uncertain origin Drug induced type 1 Brugada ECG pattern What does literature report? What do guidelines recommend?

12 No syncope, nor type 1 Circulation 2002;105:1342 Italian Registry 200 pts Asymptomatic spontaneous type 1 Syncope + induced type 1 Syncope + spontaneous type 1 HR 6.4 for risk of cardiac arrest

13 1312 patients from 14 prospective observational studies Circulation 2016;133:

14 12-lead 24-hour Holter monitoring: intermittent spontaneous type 1 Brugada pattern V1 - II space h. 4:12 pm h. 11:44 pm h. 6:33 am h. 8:20 am h. 1:08 pm V2 - II space V1 standard V2 standard V5 V6

15 Summary 45 years old man syncope of uncertain origin drug induced type 1 Brugada ECG pattern and spontaneous type 1 documented at f-up What do guidelines recommend? What does literature report?

16 Which Brugada patients to treat: Guidelines 2015

22 19 years old man, asymptomatic for syncope, no history of SD. ECG for sport eligibility: suspicious for Brugada pattern What should we do?

25 Asymptomatic 19 years old pt evaluated for sport eligibility Basal ECG Positive ajmaline test IV space II space IV space II space

26 J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;56: Exercise test 93 Brugada pts 102 controls yes no augmentation of STsegment elevationat early recovery? 37% 63% none

27 Makimoto, J Am Coll Cardiol 2010;56:

29 Which investigations are reasonable/recommended? Asymptomatic pt + suspect Brugada ECG pattern (type 2) Negative 12-lead-Holter monitoring Type 1 Brugada ECG at exercise test programmed ventricular stimulation

30 Freedom from arrhythmic events Brugada Registry of the Piedmont region: arrhythmic events at follow-up 1 0,95 0,9 0,85 0,8 0,75 0,7 0,65 0,6 G1 vs Unexplained G2, p=0.02 syncope vs G1 vs Asympt, p=0.58 Mean follow-up of 62±48 months G2 vs Asympt, p < neurally-mediated Group1 Group2 asymptomatic neurally-mediated unexplained time (years) G G Asympt % (0.2% person-year) 2% (0.3% person-year) 9% (1.8% person-year)

31 Am J Cardiol 2015;116:98e prospective observational studies mean f-up months 3,536 asymptomatic subjects (2,820 men) 1,398 with spontaneous type 1 ECG Asymptomatic pts with spontaneous type 1 ECG exhibit an increased risk of arrhythmic events

32 Am J Cardiol 2015;116:98e103 Inducible ventricular arrhythmias at PVS were predictive of arrhythmic events

33 In summary: 1. asd ICD 2. unexplained SYNCOPE PVS + PVS - ICD loop recorder if still arrhythmic events or ICD refusal: add HQ/ablation Spontaneous type 1 ECG PVS + HQ PVS + PVS - ICD F-up YES 3. neurally mediated SYNCOPE / ASYMPTOMATIC Drug-induced type 1 12 lead Holter: Spontaneous type 1 NO F-up
