Background: Different genes have been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF); however, there are no studies correlating genotype with phenotype.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to define the genetic background of probands with IVF using large gene panel analysis and to correlate genetics with long-term clinical outcomes.
Methods: All consecutive probands with a diagnosis of IVF were included in a multicenter retrospective study.
Aims: To investigate the role of genetic testing in patients with idiopathic atrioventricular conduction disease requiring pacemaker (PM) implantation before the age of 50 years.
Methods And Results: All consecutive PM implantations in Southern Switzerland between 2010 and 2019 were evaluated. Inclusion criteria were: (i) age at the time of PM implantation: < 50 years; (ii) atrioventricular block (AVB) of unknown aetiology.
