Caratteristiche dei pazienti con sindrome di Brugada e tachicardia ventricolare monomorfica.

BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an arrhythmogenic disorder associated with sudden cardiac death primarily owing to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (MVTs) are rarely reported, and little is known about their characteristics. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of patients with BrS presenting with MVT compared with those with VF. METHODS: We performed a retrospective multicenter study of patients with BrS who received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Inclusion criteria were (1) the initiation of ventricular arrhythmia on ICD recordings and (2) the absence of antiarrhythmic drugs or previous ventricular ablation
