AI Article Synopsis
- Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and Brugada syndrome (BrS) are genetic conditions that increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden cardiac death.
- Various studies suggest that there are overlapping features between ACM and BrS, particularly in their underlying mechanisms.
- Recent research highlights potential similarities in the structure of cardiac cell connections, which may support the idea that these two diseases could be variants within the same disease spectrum.
Article Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and Brugada syndrome (BrS) are inherited diseases characterized by an increased risk for arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Possible overlap between the two was suggested soon after the description of BrS. Since then, various studies focusing on different aspects have been published pointing to similar findings in the two diseases. More recent findings on the structure of the cardiac cell-cell junctions may unite the pathophysiology of both diseases and give further evidence to the theory that they may in part be variants of the same disease spectrum. In this review, we aim to summarize the studies indicating the pathophysiological, genetic, structural, and electrophysiological overlap between ACM and BrS.

Caval vein obstruction resulting in right to left shunt and desaturation post-endocardial pacing implantation in a 3-year old: a case report.

Background: Superior caval vein obstruction is a rare complication of endocardial pacing lead implantation that can result in a right to left shunt.
Case Summary: A 3-year-old child with type 2 Brugada syndrome presented with mild cyanosis post-endocardial pacing implantation due to evolutionary right superior caval vein obstruction. This obstruction resulted in a right to left shunt across a previously unrecognized patent levo-atrial cardinal vein associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.

Background: This study aimed to compare inappropriate shock (IAS) rates between subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) and transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) in Brugada syndrome (BrS) patients and identify risk factors for IAS in S-ICD use.
Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with BrS who underwent ICD implantation between 2013 and 2023. Data on clinical characteristics, S-ICD screening test data, and IAS occurrence were retrospectively analyzed.
