[SCD-FORUM] 7R Palpitations and SCD risk. Dr. Andriy Vorotniak

[SCD Symposium]

Dear colleagues,
I would like to ask some questions about the prognostic value of  
"palpitations" in Brugada and Long QT syndromes:

1.	What is the risk of SCD in a young patient with no underlying  
heart disease or hereditary-familial background for SCD, with Brugada  
syndrome (or Long QT) ECG pattern, and aborted and isolated episodes  
of "palpitations" (not recorded with Holter monitoring)?
2.	How do we continue the evaluation of this patient, if in the  
electrophysiological study there is no ventricular arrhythmia triggered?
3.	Is there any relationship between the mentioned syndromes and  
supraventricular tachyarrhythmia incidence?

Thank you very much,
Dr. Andriy Vorotniak
Buenos Aires, Argentina
