Drug-induced Brugada Syndrome Research Database

Brugada SyndromeArrhythmia1 more

All patients with drug-induced Brugada syndrome who are evaluated and followed at each participating centers will be recorded in this register. Within this register a characterization of patients and therapy will be done. Prognostic factors of adefined clinical relevant endpoints will be evaluated.

Fetal Electrophysiologic Abnormalities in High-Risk Pregnancies Associated With Fetal Demise

High Risk PregnancyCongenital Heart Disease16 more

Each year world-wide, 2.5 million fetuses die unexpectedly in the last half of pregnancy, 25,000 in the United States, making fetal demise ten-times more common than Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This study will apply a novel type of non-invasive monitoring, called fetal magnetocardiography (fMCG) used thus far to successfully evaluate fetal arrhythmias, in order to discover potential hidden electrophysiologic abnormalities that could lead to fetal demise in five high-risk pregnancy conditions associated with fetal demise.

DAPERB 3,4-DiAminoPyridine and Electrophysiological Response in Brugada Syndrome

Brugada Syndrome

The Brugada syndrome is a rare disease potentially leading to severe arrhythmic events in otherwise healthy subjects.In many patients an Implantable cardiovertor defibrillator (ICD) is implanted to prevent sudden cardiac death. ICD are however associated with potential complications and are not available in all countries.Pharmacological blockade of specific ion channels (Ito) represents a promising therapeutic approach in this syndrome.The 3,4-diaminopyridine (3,4-DAP) is a pharmacological Ito blocker that can be used in humans.The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of 3,4-DAP on ventricular arrhythmia inducibility in Brugada patients requiring an electrophysiological study for arrhythmic risk stratification.

Hydroquinidine Versus Placebo in Patients With Brugada Syndrome

Brugada Syndrome

The specific aim of this study is to determine whether hydroquinidine administration can prevent heart from appearance of ventricular arrhythmia detected by the automatic implantable defibrillator (ICD).

Distribution of Cell-cell Junction Proteins in Arrhythmic Disorders

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular DysplasiaBrugada Syndrome1 more

Every week in the UK, 12 apparently healthy and fit individuals under the age of 35 die suddenly, a tragic event known as sudden cardiac death (SCD). The investigators have shown that heritable cardiac disorders affect the distribution of proteins at the cardiac cell-cell junctions, the areas where cardiac cells are mechanically and electrically coupled. This knowledge has helped the investigators diagnose specific heart disorders in individuals thus reducing the risk and incidence of SCD. Yet, the primary material required is a heart sample. A heart biopsy is an invasive process that comes with risks and is not performed unless absolutely necessary. And it is impossible to obtain a heart sample from an individual that may be carrying a disease-causing mutation (and hence be at risk of SCD) but does not yet show evidence of disease manifestation. The investigators recently showed that buccal cells show changes in protein distribution equivalent to those exhibited by the heart,hence providing them with a surrogate tissue for the myocardium. The investigators aim to use buccal smears as a means to identify those at risk of SCD. Patients regularly seen at the cardiology clinics at St. George's Hospital can participate in the study. The investigators shall take a buccal smear simply by rubbing a soft brush at the inside of their cheek and smearing it on a slide. Most individuals willing to participate in the study will only have to provide the investigators with a sample once. However, in selected cases (for instance, if the patients show disease progression or have a change in medication) they may be asked to provide the investigators with a subsequent sample during one of their scheduled follow-up visits. The process takes only a few seconds, is totally risk- and pain-free and it is anticipated to have great implications in diagnosis and patient management.

Derivation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) Cells to Heritable Cardiac Arrhythmias

Inherited Cardiac ArrythmiasLong QT Syndrome (LQTS)11 more

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have driven a paradigm shift in the modeling of human disease; the ability to reprogram patient-specific cells holds the promise of an enhanced understanding of disease mechanisms and phenotypic variability, with applications in personalized predictive pharmacology/toxicology, cell therapy and regenerative medicine. This research will collect blood or skin biopsies from patients and healthy controls for the purpose of generating cell and tissue models of Mendelian heritable forms of heart disease focusing on cardiomyopathies, channelopathies and neuromuscular diseases. Cardiomyocytes derived from hiPSCs will provide a ready source of disease specific cells to study pathogenesis and therapeutics.

Effects of Propofol-Induced Anaesthesia on the ST-segment of the ECG

No Specific Condition (Patients Without Brugada Syndrome)

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of propofol induced general anaesthesia on the ST-segment of the electrocardiogram. This will be realised by retrospectively analysing the ECG-recordings from adult patients undergoing any treatment at the Catheterisation Laboratory. The ST-segment and other ECG measurements from induction of anaesthesia up to 20 minutes later, will be assessed and compared to the baseline values of the respective segments acquired before injecting propofol. It is essential in this study to exclude any patients burdened with the diagnosis, suspicion or family history of Brugada syndrome.

Ajmaline Utilization in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Cardiac Arrhythmias

Atrial FibrillationTachycardia2 more

The study evaluates 3 different populations: It is an open, randomized, parallel-group study comparing the effectiveness of intravenous (iv) ajmaline with currently used antiarrhythmic drugs in the acute treatment of : recent-onset atrial fibrillation versus iv flecainide sustained monomorphous ventricular tachycardia versus iv procainamide The study also evaluates in an open, randomized, crossover study, the use of iv ajmaline versus iv flecainide in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome
