Pooled Analysis of Risk Stratification of Spontaneous Type 1 Brugada ECG: Focus on the Influence of Gender and EPS.

ABSTRACT: Aims: Risk stratification of patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) is vital for accurate prognosis and therapeutic decisions. Spontaneous Type 1 ST segment elevation is generally considered to be an independent risk factor for arrhythmic events. Other risk factors include gender, syncope, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and positive electrophysiological study (EPS). However, the further risk stratification of spontaneous type 1 combined with the other risk factors remains unclear. The present study pooled data from 4 large trials aiming to systematically evaluate the risk of spontaneous Type-1 ECG when combined with one or more of these other recognized risk factors. Methods: We searched for related studies published from November 2, 2002 to February 10, 2018 in PubMed, EMBASE, C
