A 36-year-old Hispanic man with no prior cardiac history presented with chest pain and then ventricular fibrillation requiring defibrillation after a physical altercation. His ECG on presentation to the emergency room was suggestive of Brugada syndrome, which later normalized. Cardiac catheterization revealed anomalous origin of right coronary artery from the left coronary cusp (coursing between the pulmonary artery and the aorta) for which he underwent surgical reimplantation, and subsequent pharmacological challenge test did not provoke reappearance of a Brugada ECG pattern. A review of literature on Brugada syndrome and anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is presented.

Wearable Solutions Using Physiological Signals for Stress Monitoring on Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A Systematic Literature Review.

Some previous studies have focused on using physiological signals to detect stress in individuals with ASD through wearable devices, yet few have focused on how to design such solutions. Wearable technology may be a valuable tool to aid parents and caregivers in monitoring the emotional states of individuals with ASD who are at high risk of experiencing very stressful situations. However, effective wearable devices for individuals with ASD may need to differ from solutions for those without ASD.

T wave inversion (TWI) on the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a relatively common finding in athletes. It poses a diagnostic challenge, as it can indicate either a benign physiological pattern or an early sign of serious cardiac pathology. This expert opinion statement provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of TWI in athletes, emphasizing the importance of its localization, associated clinical features, and demographic factors in guiding its interpretation and management.

Typical atrial flutter (AFL), defined as cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, often causes debilitating symptoms, and is associated with increased incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart failure, and death. Typical AFL occurs in patients with atrial remodeling and shares risk factors with atrial fibrillation. It is also common in patients with a history of prior heart surgery or catheter ablation.

Introduction: Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome characterised by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial ECG leads and is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. We identify and characterise a novel SCN3B variant encoding the regulatory β3-subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Na1.5.

Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a challenging diagnosis, particularly when the classic signs, such as increased wall thickness in a non-dilated left ventricle (LV), are absent. This makes the diagnosis more difficult in patients with normal LV wall thickness. We present a case of CA without increased wall thickness and without the characteristic granular sparkling echotexture in a non-dilated LV.
