Long-term prognosis of patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant and progressive cardiac conduction disorder or Brugada syndrome.
Background: The long-term prognosis of patients with a loss-of-function variant in the cardiac sodium channel gene SCN5A is unknown.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term arrhythmic risk in patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant to identify predictors of arrhythmic events.
Methods: Probands and family members with (likely) pathogenic SCN5A loss-of-function variants were retrospectively included. Clinical and electrocardiographic data at baseline and last follow-up were collected. Patients with a history of cardiac arrest, sustained ventricular tachycardia, symptomatic or documented atrial tachy- or bradyarrhythmia, or arrhythmogenic syncope were categorized as symptomatic. Arrhythmic events at follow-up were defined as sudden death, aborted cardiac arrest, documented ventricular fibrillation, and/or sustained ventricular tachycardia.
Results: We included 615 patients (349 men, 242 probands, 157 with a spontaneous type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram, and 111 symptomatic at baseline). During a median follow-up of 9.5 (Q1,Q3 5.0-14.3) years, arrhythmic events occurred in 41 patients (6.7%), equating an overall event rate of 0.7%/y: 2.0%/y in symptomatic and 0.3%/y in asymptomatic patients. In the overall study population, symptoms at baseline, male sex, and QRS prolongation were identified as independent predictors of arrhythmic events. In asymptomatic patients, male sex and QRS prolongation were also identified as predictors. Asymptomatic women with QRS interval < 100 ms did not experience arrhythmic events at follow-up.
Conclusion: Key predictors of arrhythmic risk in patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant, regardless of a Brugada syndrome diagnosis, are symptoms at baseline, male sex, and prolonged QRS interval. Our findings may enable more tailored management strategies in patients with an SCN5A loss-of-function variant based on their individual risk profiles.

HeartRhythm, the official Journal of the Heart Rhythm Society and the Cardiac Electrophysiology Society, is a unique journal for fundamental discovery and clinical applicability.
HeartRhythm integrates the entire cardiac electrophysiology (EP) community from basic and clinical academic researchers, private practitioners, engineers, allied professionals, industry, and trainees, all of whom are vital and interdependent members of our EP community.
The Heart Rhythm Society is the international leader in science, education, and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, and the primary information resource on heart rhythm disorders. Its mission is to improve the care of patients by promoting research, education, and optimal health care policies and standards.
