Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on the Outcome of Patients with Brugada Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS). The impact and significance of AF in this patient population needs to be further clarified.

Method

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing the risks of developing major arrhythmic events (MAEs) in patients with BrS with and without AF.
