Role of Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias in Brugada Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of review

To discuss the role of catheter ablation in treating life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias associated with Brugada syndrome (BrS), by presenting recent findings of BrS arrhythmogenic substrate, mechanisms underlying ventricular arrhythmias, and how they can be treated with catheter ablation.

Recent findings

Almost three decades ago when the clinical entity of Brugada syndrome (BrS) was described in patients who had abnormal coved-type ST elevation in the right precordial EKG leads in patients who had no apparent structural heart disease but died suddenly from ventricular fibrillation. Since its description, the syndrome has galvanized explosive research in this field over the past decades, driving major progress toward better understanding of BrS, gainin
