Overview
Electrophysiologic study may be helpful in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. Some groups have advocated that programmed electrical stimulation (PES) be performed to induce ventricular fibrillation for risk assessment in Brugada patients other groups have not reproduced the predictive value of these tests, so the value of programmed electrical stimulation (PES) and inducibility remains controversial.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Electrophysiologic study may be helpful in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome.[1]
- Patients who are inducible at the time electrophysiologic study have an eightfold increased risk of aborted sudden cardiac death compared with those patients who are not inducible.[2]
- Some groups have advocated that programmed electrical stimulation (PES) be performed to induce ventricular fibrillation for risk assessment in Brugada patientso ther groups have not reproduced the predictive value of these tests, so the value of programmed electrical stimulation (PES) and inducibility remains controversia.[3][4][5][6][7]
