Ajmaline-Induced Abnormalities in Brugada Syndrome: Evaluation With ECG Imaging

Luigi Pannone et al.

Summary: This study analyzed electrocardiographic imaging parameters during ajmaline test (AJT) in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS). The study found that certain parameters changed after the AJT and these changes could be used to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in these patients.

Prediction of 3-year all-cause and cardiovascular cause mortality in a prospective percutaneous coronary intervention registry: Machine learning model outperforms conventional clinical risk scores

Paul-Adrian Calburean et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the performance of machine learning models in predicting 3-year cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in a PCI population and compared it with clinical scores. The results showed that machine learning models outperformed clinical scores in predicting mortality, with higher accuracy and predictive ability.

Hybrid-Approach Ablation in Drug-Refractory Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

Cinzia Monaco et al.

Summary: This case series reports the experience of thoracoscopic hybrid-approach endocardial and/or epicardial catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in drug-refractory arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients. Despite a relatively high recurrence rate of VA, all patients experienced a significant reduction in arrhythmic burden after ablation, suggesting that a multidisciplinary approach may improve outcomes.

High parasympathetic activity as reflected by deceleration capacity predicts atrial fibrillation recurrence after repeated catheter ablation procedure

Paul-Adrian Calburean et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of high parasympathetic nervous system activity on atrial fibrillation recurrence after repeated catheter ablation. Results showed that DC can predict AF recurrence and recurrence type, indicating that patients with high PNS activity may require more intensive treatment strategies.

A Multicenter External Validation of a Score Model to Predict Risk of Events in Patients With Brugada Syndrome

Ji-Jian Chow et al.

Summary: A multivariate risk score model for sudden death in Brugada syndrome was proposed by Sieira et al. in 2017, with a good initial validation in 150 patients. However, retrospective validation of the score model in 192 patients from the UK showed low sensitivity, moderate specificity, and a low C-index. The utility of the score model for primary prevention of sudden death is questioned, indicating inherent issues with modern risk scoring strategies.

High vagal tone predicts pulmonary vein reconnection after cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Paul-Adrian Calburean et al.

Summary: High parasympathetic tone accurately predicts PVs reconnection. On a vein-per-vein analysis, parasympathetic markers along with biophysical parameters predicted PVs reconnection. On a case-by-case analysis, parasympathetic markers were the only predictors of PVs reconnection, thus being a robust PVs reconnection prediction tool.

Standard ECG in Brugada Syndrome as a Marker of Prognosis: From Risk Stratification to Pathophysiological Insights

Francesco Vitali et al.

Summary: The 12-lead ECG plays a crucial role in diagnosing Brugada syndrome. A systematic review identified 12 specific ECG features associated with a higher risk of sudden death in BrS patients. A multiparametric risk assessment approach based on these ECG parameters could potentially improve current risk stratification scores and warrants further investigation.

Vincenzo Russo et al.

Summary: Drug-induced type 1 BrS patients have a very low arrhythmic risk, and the decision for ICD implantation is supported by syncope and/or EPS positivity, although these methods fail to effectively identify high-risk patients.
