[SCD-FORUM] 47E Some questions about Brugada Syndrome. Dr. Kam

[SCD Symposium]

Induction of a type I Brugada pattern during febrile states has been  
well
described.

I have also observed a few cases where a Type I Brugada pattern was  
observed
during or shortly after a strong vagal episode, such as severe abdominal
pain , or a vasovagal episode, where the individual recovered quite  
quickly
as with a vasovagal syncope, unlike a sudden cardiac arrest  
situation. The
ECG subsequently reverted to normal or a Type II or III pattern on a
separate occasion.

What is the mechanism of these observations and what is the  
prognosis? If
EPS is performed, how often is VT/VF inducible?

I would like to hear the opinion of the experts in this field.

Sincerely
