Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic disorder in which the electrical activity of the heart is abnormal due to channelopathy. [2] It increases the risk of abnormal ...
Long QT syndrome, the most common form of cardiac channelopathy, is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization, predisposing to a high risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsade de pointes), syncope, and sudden cardiac death.
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]

Brugada syndrome can result in ventricular fibrillation and potentially death. It is a major cause of sudden unexpected cardiac death in young, otherwise healthy people. [ 13 ] While the characteristic patterns of Brugada syndrome on an electrocardiogram may be seen regularly, often the abnormal pattern is only seen spontaneously due to unknown ...
There is no cure for Brugada syndrome, but the condition may be treated using an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). [3] Medications to help control the abnormal heart rhythms include isoproterenol in those who are acutely unstable, and quinidine. [4] The family members of a patient with Brugada syndrome may require testing for the ...
To the ant-fascist movement, President-elect Trump is a fascist. Antifa say they will remain peaceful as he takes power, unless lines are crossed.
