Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy characterized by right precordial ST-segment elevation. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with BrS in Hong Kong.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at the only tertiary pediatric cardiology center in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2022, including all pediatric BrS patients under 18 years old.

Sudden death after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with electrophysiological heterogeneities and ionic current remodelling. Low ejection fraction (EF) is used in risk stratification, but its mechanistic links with pro-arrhythmic heterogeneities are unknown. We aim to provide mechanistic explanations of clinical phenotypes in acute and chronic MI, from ionic current remodelling to ECG and EF, using human electromechanical modelling and simulation to augment experimental and clinical investigations.

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.

To investigate the differences in clinical and electrocardiographic characteristics between carriers of SCN5A mutations and non-SCN5A mutations in fever-induced Brugada syndrome. This study is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 263 patients with fever-induced Brugada syndrome who were admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2000 to December 2023 were selected.

Background: Hydroquinidine reduces arrhythmic events in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS). The mechanism by which it exerts antiarrhythmic benefit and its electrophysiological effects on BrS substrate remain incompletely understood.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of hydroquinidine on ventricular depolarization and repolarization in patients with BrS in vivo.
