Abstract
Background: Risk stratification in drug-induced type-1 Brugada syndrome (BrS) patients is challenging. The role of electrophysiological study (EPS) is debated as the majority of drug-induced type-1 BrS patients would not be studied according to the latest recommendations.
Methods: A complete systematic literature search was performed to gauge the EPS role in this population. Three subgroups were defined: positive-EPS group, negative-EPS group, no-EPS group.
Results: Among 1318 drug-induced type-1 BrS patients, no significant difference in the incidence rate of arrhythmic events was observed between groups (I2 = 45%, P for subgroup difference = 0.10) during a mean follow-up of 5.1 years, also considering symptomatic status.
Conclusion: In long-term follow-up of drug-induced type-1 BrS patients, EPS does not seem to aid prognostic stratification.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine is a monthly publication of the Italian Federation of Cardiology. It publishes original research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches, case reports, design and goals of clinical trials, review articles, points of view, editorials and Images in cardiovascular medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
