Prevalence and prognosis of patients with lone and paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias showing Brugada-type electrocardiograms after class IC antiarrhythmic drug administration but no risk-stratifying factors

Prevalence and prognosis of patients with lone and paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias showing Brugada-type electrocardiograms after class IC antiarrhythmic drug administration but no risk-stratifying factors

Background: Class IC antiarrhythmic drugs, used to prevent paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs), are well known to effectively unmask the electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern of Brugada syndrome. We used these drugs to investigate the prevalence and prognosis of patients with lone and paroxysmal ATs...
