Although many of those with Brugada syndrome do not have any symptoms, Brugada syndrome may cause fainting or sudden cardiac death due to serious abnormal heart rhythms, such as ventricular fibrillation or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. [9] Blackouts may be caused by brief abnormal heart rhythms that revert to a normal rhythm spontaneously.
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]
It covers ICD codes 740 to 759. The full chapter can be found on pages 417 to 437 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9. ... Brugada syndrome ...

Congestive heart failure patients that were implanted with an ICD had an all-cause death risk 23% lower than placebo and an absolute decrease in mortality of 7.2 percentage points after five years in the overall population. 1 Reporting in 1999, the Antiarrhythmics Versus Implantable Defibrillators (AVID) trial consisted of 1,016 patients, and ...
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]
The resting 12-lead ECG is a useful test to differentiate CPVT from other electrical diseases of the heart that can cause similar abnormal heart rhythms. Unlike conditions such as long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome, the resting 12-lead ECG in those with CPVT is generally normal. [8]
