Editor's Notes
- is an unexpected death due to cardiac causes that occurs in a short time period (generally within 1 hour of symptom onset) in a person with known or unknown cardiac disease.
- Highest risk between birth and 6months or 45yrs to 75yrs
- K chanellopathy Na chanellopathy Muscle mass thickness Deposition of muscle with fat Sudden force over precordium leading to vt
- Aprox 1 in 2500 to 1 in 10,000 w/ genetic LGTs.

- Phase 0- rapid depolarization phase- fast sodium channels open-rapid influx of positively charges ion. Phase 1-closure of fast Na channels O and 1=R and S wave Phase 2-platue phase-balance between inward mvt of Cal and outward mvt of K,very slow k effulux ..thus channels remain open for prolonged time ..qt prolongation Phase 3-repolarization phase outward flow of K-T wave Phase 4-resting membrane potential blocking/slowing Na influx or K eflux causes a prolongation of the qt interval (Duration of activation and recovery of ventricular myocardium), if prolongation is long enough can get a second excitation phase from myocardium (early after-depolarization) leads to loose of synchronization and arrhythemia --ankyirin-thought to effect Na channels
- FIGure---R-W: Romano-Ward syndrome; J-L-N: Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome with deafness; NR: not reported; HPP: hypokalemia periodic paralysis.* KCNE1 is also referred to as minK; KCNE2 is also referred to as MiRP1 (minK related protein 1). The KvLQT1 gene encodes the alpha-subunit protein of the IKs channel, with the KCNE1 gene encoding the beta- subunit protein of this same channel. The alpha- and beta-subunit proteins combine together to form a cardiac potassium channel expressing the IKs (slowly activating component of delayed rectifier potassium current); Ikr is the rapidly activating component of delayed rectifier potassium current.Amended with permission from Schwartz, PJ, Priori, SG, Napolitano C.

- Incidence increases in asian populations, first described in asians Aprox 18% of pt w/ syndrome have gene, variable penetrance Rarely dx in children
- In a normal condition :there is almost simultaneous excitation of endo & epicardium due to N functioning NA channels but in case of brugada action potential is delayed due to slow opening or block in NA channels .leading to a lag b/w endocardium & epicardium aka phase 2 reentry,PHASE 2 WILL BE SHORTNED Epicardium has shortest AP{high conc. Of ions},endocardium has longest AP Loss-of-function mutations in this gene lead to a loss of the action potential dome of some epicardial areas of the right ventricle. This results in transmural and epicardial dispersion of repolarizatio
- SCD-initial pressentation in aprox 30%, -Three distinct types of ST segment elevation have been described. In type 1, the ST segment gradually descends to an inverted T wave. In type 2, the T wave is positive or biphasic, and the terminal portion of the ST segment is elevated 1 mm. In type 3, the T wave is positive, and the terminal portion of the ST segment is elevated <1 mm. Arrows denote the J-wave. Calibrations are given. The EKG patterns can be transient making the dx that much more difficult. –over an 18 month period as many as half of pts will have either a non-diagnostic or normal EKG
- Pt’s w/ SCD / VF have aprox 25% chance of a second event w/in 2 yrs Pt’s pressenting w/ syncope have a six fold increase in SCD above asymptomatic pt Pt w/ spontaneous type I pattern were three times more likely up to 15% in 2 yrs follow up TREATMENT IS AICD PLACEMENT OR MEDICALLY BY QUINIDINE CLASS 1 ANTIARYTHIMIC {BLOCKE FAST NA CHANNELS}

- fibrofatty replacement of the RV myocardium initially produces typical regional wall motion abnormalities that later become global, producing RV dilation. The tissue replacement can also involve area of the left ventricle (LV) with relative sparing of the septum -dispite the name in can occur in the LV as well, infact these proteens a poorer prognosis w/ higher incidence of arryhtmia and CHF --an autosomal dominant form, which is most common, and an autosomal recessive form called Naxos disease, in which ARVD is part of a syndrome including hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles and woolly hair. --)
- . Panel A:Four chamber view cut of the heart specimen showing the trans mural fatty replacement of the right ventricular free wall and the translucent infundibulum. Panel B: Panoramic histologic view of the same heart confirming that the replacement of the myocardium by fat is largely confined to the right ventricle (arrow) and substantially spares the interventricular septum as well as the left ventricular free wall (trichrome Heidenhain x 3).
- Palpitations — 67 percent Syncope — 32 percent Atypical chest pain — 27 percent Dyspnea — 11 percent Signs of Right heart failure are rare, clinical pressentation is usualy arrthymia (50%)/SCD or incidental finding mean age fo dx is 30 10-30 --most common arythemia is monomorphic VT from the RV
- Diagnosis- Arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia 1. Epsilon wave: just after the QRS complex 2. T inversion in v 1 to v3 3. Positive QRS in v1 (the classical RBBB pattern is not present in this ecg) AIVR w/ LBBB morphology Right sided VT-ARVD vs. Idiopathic Right Ventricular Arrhythmia (IRVA) vs Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) tachycardia (70-90%) --As many as 40 to 50 percent of patients have a normal ECG at presentation [8,31]. However, by six years, virtually all patients with ARVD have one or more of the following findings on ECG during normal sinus rhythm [31]: The QRS duration is frequently prolonged; this is seen more often in lead V1 than in lead I or V6. This prolongation is consistent with delayed right ventricular activation. A QRS duration greater than 110 msec (0.110 sec) in lead V1 has a sensitivity of only about 50 percent but a very high specificity in patients suspected of having ARVD based upon the above historical features. There may be a pattern of incomplete or complete right bundle branch block. Epicardial mapping suggests that these patterns are usually due to parietal block (conduction delay in the terminal Purkinje system), rather than to disease of the bundle branch [32]. (See "General principles of asynchronous activation and preexcitation", section on Intraventricular and intramural block). Thirty percent of patients with ARVD have an epsilon wave that has the appearance of a distinct wave just beyond the QRS complex, particularly in V1 (show ECG 2). This finding represents low amplitude potentials caused by delayed activation of some portion of the RV. Inversion of T waves in the right precordial leads occurs in one-half of cases presenting with VT (show ECG 3). The extent of T-wave inversion has been correlated with the degree of RV enlargement [33]. Increased QT dispersion, ie, interlead variability of QT intervals, may be seen. (See "QT dispersion: Measurement and interpretation"). A prolonged S wave upstroke has been described. This finding (interval from the nadir of the S wave to the isoelectric baseline 55 msec) has been noted in 91 to 95 percent of ARVD patients who did not have RBBB [7,34].
- According to CC registry only 15% survival Ventricular fibrillation can be triggered by chest wall impact immediately over the heart and occurs most frequently with impact over the center of the left ventricle
- --the impact is thought to cause a premature ventricular depolarization at a vulnerable time period
- Rca: arises from right cusp of the aortic valve & travels into right arterioventricular groove Lca: above the left cusp of the aortic valve --Incidence of any coronary anomaly(variation that occurs in <1% of the population) may be as high as 5.6%, but HD significant anomalies is estimated around .17% --AFIP studdy of 6.2 mill 18yo recruits in basic training only 21 deaths related to coronary anomalies all were from LAD from R cusp
- The subsequent course between the aorta and pulmonary artery to the left ventricle may result in compression of the vessel, myocardial ischemia, and sudden death in both adults and teenagers [3,4]. These complications commonly occur during or immediately after exercise. Exercise leads to expansion of the aortic root and pulmonary trunk, which, in addition to external coronary artery expression, may increase the preexisting angulation of the coronary artery takeoff, reducing the luminal diameter in the proximal portion of the coronary artery [3]. --transient ischemia overtime can lead to myocardial necrosis-fibrosis-foci for arrhytmias
- In a small case series of 27pt (italian/US) about 1/3 of pt w/ SCD 2/2 anomolous arteris had-CP, syncope palpitation. Of these about a third had normal stess test/ekg-no abnormal stress test, the symptoms came for anomolouse LCA
