Genotype-Phenotype Mismatch
Probst et al CircCVG 2009
In 5 of the 13 studied families, 8
individuals showed a type 1 ECG, but
did not carry the familial mutation
Mutation carriers had longer QRS and
PR intervals
SCN5A mutations may play
a modifier role in some
families

Management: Lifestyle
Class I
1. The following lifestyle changes are recommended in all patients with diagnosis of BrS:
a) Avoidance of drugs that may induce or aggravate ST segment elevation in right precordial leads (Brugadadrugs.org),
b) Avoidance of excessive alcohol intake,
c) Immediate treatment of fever with antipyretic drugs.

Class ICD Recommendations
Class I ICD implantation is recommended in patients
with a diagnosis of BrS who:
• Are survivors of a cardiac arrest, and/or
• Have documented spontaneous sustained VT
with or without syncope.
Class IIa ICD implantation can be useful in patients with a
spontaneous diagnostic Type I ECG who have a
history of syncope judged to be likely caused by
ventricular arrhythmias.

Asymptomatic drug-induced ECG = Low risk
Asymptomatic + Spontaneous Type 1 ECG =
Risk intermediate

do we stratify?

ConclusionsDiagnostic criteria continue to evolve
Role for Sodium Channel blockers?
Genetics linked to conduction phenotype: does not exclude BrS
Risk stratification is still imperfect
Asymptomatic need better markers
EPS remain albeit class IIb: spontaneous type 1
New ECG/EP measures for risk: ECG/EP/Genomic risk score
Less and better ICD implantation!! S-ICD
Replace with substrate ablation and/or quinidine?
