Key result

Exercise stress testing safely aids diagnosis and risk stratification for malignant arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome.

n=712

Why the study?

Data on risk stratification in Brugada syndrome are limited in the literature.

Does exercise stress testing improve risk stratification for malignant arrhythmias in patients with Brugada syndrome?

Structured PICO

Does exercise stress testing improve risk stratification for malignant arrhythmias in patients with Brugada syndrome?

P

Population

712 patients with Brugada syndrome (BS) from 8 reviewed articles, aged 35 to 60 years, 95% men. 64% were asymptomatic, while 256 patients reported symptoms or severe ventricular arrhythmias before the test.

I

Intervention

Exercise stress test (EST) using treadmill or cycle ergometer

O

Outcome

Risk stratification for malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deathhard clinical

Exercise stress testing is a safe and potentially useful method for unmasking electrocardiographic changes and stratifying the risk of malignant arrhythmias in patients with Brugada syndrome.

Limitations

The small number of studies available in the literature (mostly case reports) was a limitation of the present study.
Small number of studies available in the literature (mostly case reports)

Implication

May support Brugada risk stratification; leaves open need for prospective validation.
