  2. Brugada syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugada_syndrome

    ECG pattern in Brugada syndrome. According to consensus guidelines, Type 1 ST segment elevation, either spontaneously present or induced with the sodium channel-blocker challenge test, is considered diagnostic. Type 2 and 3 may lead to suspicion, but provocation testing is required for diagnosis.

  3. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_arrhythmic_death...

    A 2011 autopsy-based study found that sudden death was attributed to a cardiac condition in 79.3% of cases, and was unexplained in 20.7%. [3] In the Philippines, sudden adult death syndrome (or in their term, bangungot) is mainly caused by the Brugada syndrome. [14]

    ECG pattern in Brugada syndrome. According to recent consensus document (ref 13), type 1 ST segment elevation either spontaneously present or induced with Ajmaline/Flecainide test is considered diagnostic. Type 1 and 2 may lead to suspicion but drug challenge is required for diagnosis.

  5. Long QT syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_QT_syndrome

    Long QT syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 7,000 people. [6] Females are affected more often than males. [6] Most people with the condition develop symptoms before they are 40 years old. [6] It is a relatively common cause of sudden death along with Brugada syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. [3]

  6. Ventricular fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_fibrillation

    This is followed by sudden cardiac death in the absence of treatment. [2] Ventricular fibrillation is initially found in about 10% of people with cardiac arrest. [1] Ventricular fibrillation can occur due to coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, electric shock, or intracranial ...

    Antley–Bixler syndrome: Barth syndrome: Brugada syndrome: Cantú syndrome: genetic (Chromosome 12, autosomal dominant) Cardiac syndrome X: Cardiorenal syndrome: Kidney Cat eye syndrome: CHARGE syndrome: Coffin–Lowry syndrome: genetic (RPS6KA3 gene mutation, Chromosome X) Costello syndrome: Down syndrome: genetic (Chromosome 21) Dressler ...

  8. Channelopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channelopathy

    Because the heartbeat is dependent on the proper movement of ions across the surface membrane, cardiac channelopathies make up a key group of heart diseases. [3] Long QT syndrome , the most common form of cardiac channelopathy, is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization, predisposing to a high risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias ...

  9. Syncope (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncope_(medicine)

    A medical history, physical examination, and electrocardiogram (ECG) are the most effective ways to determine the underlying cause. [1] The ECG is useful to detect an abnormal heart rhythm, poor blood flow to the heart muscle and other electrical issues, such as long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome. [1]
