[ARVD-FORUM] ARVD AND Brugada Syndrome. Roberts, BN

[ARVD Symposium]

English - Spanish 

Thank you for a great symposium.. As both a BN and patient living with ARVD
I was especially interested in the ARVD and BS information.
 My sister who also has ARVD left our country of Canada and moved to the
southern US and married a man from there. Several months ago her husband was
having chest pain and underwent an ecg that was strongly suggestive of
Brugada syndrome. After doing all the usual testing the diagnosis was
confirmed. He also had an EP study where he was easily inducible to VF.
Naturally he also had a defib implanted. My question is ..if Arvd
(especially arvd5) and brugada is closely related ie as postulated in the 
lecture, what effect could this have on her children?

Gracias por un gran simposio. Como enfermera y como paciente con DAVD, me
interese especialmente en la informacion sobre la DAVD y el SB.
Mi hermana que tambien tiene DAVD dejo nuestro pais, Canada, y se mudo al
sur de EE.UU. y se caso con un hombre de alli. Hace varios meses su esposo
comenzo a presentar un dolor toracico y se le realizo un ECG que sugirio
fuertemente sindrome de Brugada. Luego de todos los estudios usuales, se
confirmo el diagnostico. Tambien se realizo un estudio EF en el que se
indujo FV facilmente. Naturalmente, tambien se le implanto un desfibrilador.
Mi pregunta es si la DAVD (especialmente la DAVD5) y Brugada se relacionan
estrechamente como se postula en la conferencia, y que efecto puede tener
esto en sus hijos?
