2 Arrhythmogenic Hereditary Syndromes Genetic-based syndromes associated with a primary electrical disease (channelopathy) or structural heart disease that increases the risk for malignant ventricular arrhythmias - Variable penetrance - Interplay of biophysical function, environment, drug therapy

3 Inherited Arrhythmopathies Long QT Syndrome, Short QT Syndrome Brugada Syndrome Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

16 Brugada Syndrome: A Disorder of Depolarization Reduced depolarizing current in the epicardial cells of the RV (Antzelevitch C et al, 1998) The increased repolarizing current I to leads to: loss of the action potential plateau premature repolarization of the epicardium transmural current flow with STE reentrant arrhythmias

19 Brugada Syndrome Diagnosis Syncope, aborted SCD, Family history Typical ECG pattern (coved vs. saddleback) Na + channel blockers (e.g. ajmaline, flecainide, procainamide) exacerbate the ECG findings and are used diagnostically (Brugada et al., 2000) EP study: HV prolongation, inducible VF Molecular diagnosis: Familion, Gene Dx, PARTNERS

20 Long-Term Prognosis of Patients With Brugada Syndrome Results From the FINGER Brugada Syndrome Registry -11 tertiary centers in 4 European countries. - Inclusion criteria: type 1 ECG present - baseline or after drug challenge consecutive individuals (745 men; 72%) - Median age of 45 (35 to 55) years. -Dx : (1) aborted SCD (6%);(2) Unexplained syncope (30%) (3) asymptomatic patients (64%). -Median follow-up of 31.9 (14 to 54.4) months -Symptoms and spontaneous type 1 ECG were predictors of arrhythmic events -Gender, Fhx of SCD, inducibility of VT during EPS, drug provocation and presence of an SCN5A mutation were not predictive of arrhythmic events.
