  2. Brugada syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brugada_syndrome

    Brugada syndrome is diagnosed by identifying characteristic patterns on an electrocardiogram. [14] The pattern seen on the ECG includes ST elevation in leads V 1-V 3 with a right bundle branch block (RBBB) appearance. There may be evidence of a slowing of electrical conduction within the heart, as shown by a prolonged PR interval.

  3. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

    Those affected by arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy may not have any symptoms at all despite having significant abnormalities in the structure of their hearts. [6] If symptoms do occur, the initial presentation is often due to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) which in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy may take the form of palpitations, or blackouts. [7]

  4. Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome - Wikipedia

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

    A 2011 retrospective cohort study using demographic and autopsy data for a 10-year period comprising 15.2 million person-years of active surveillance suggested that prevention of sudden death in young adults should focus on evaluation for causes known to be associated with SCD (e.g., primary arrhythmia) among those under 35 years old, and ...

  5. KCNE5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCNE5

    KCNE5-Y81H was detected in a man with a type 1 Brugada pattern body-surface electrocardiogram, while KCNE5-D92E:E93X was detected in another case of Brugada and associated with premature sudden death in other male family members, but not females - significant because KCNE5 is an X-linked gene.

  6. Ajmaline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajmaline

    Ajmaline is used intravenously to test for Brugada syndrome since they both affect the sodium ion channel. [14] In an afflicted person who was induced with ajmaline, the electrocardiogram would show the characteristic pattern of the syndrome where the ST segment is abnormally elevated above the baseline. Due to complications that could arise ...

  7. Ventricular fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_fibrillation

    Recently described syndromes such as the Brugada Syndrome may give clues to the underlying mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias. In the Brugada syndrome, changes may be found in the resting ECG with evidence of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and ST elevation in the chest leads V1–V3, with an underlying propensity to sudden cardiac death. [10]

    The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a US system of medical classification used for procedural coding.The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency responsible for maintaining the inpatient procedure code set in the U.S., contracted with 3M Health Information Systems in 1995 to design and then develop a procedure classification system to replace Volume 3 of ICD-9-CM.
