Key result
Programmed ventricular stimulation has uncertain prognostic value for predicting arrhythmic events in Brugada syndrome, though a less aggressive protocol stimulating only the right ventricular apex may improve risk stratification.
Why the study?
The predictive value of programmed ventricular stimulation for arrhythmic risk in Brugada syndrome remains controversial, particularly whether it provides sufficiently reliable prognostic information for clinical decision-making.
Does programmed ventricular stimulation accurately predict the risk of arrhythmic events in patients with Brugada syndrome?
Does programmed ventricular stimulation accurately predict the risk of arrhythmic events in patients with Brugada syndrome?
The review highlights that the prognostic value of programmed ventricular stimulation in Brugada syndrome is highly debated and may depend heavily on the stimulation protocol used.

Uncertain prognostic value of programmed ventricular stimulation cautions against routine Brugada syndrome risk stratification; leaves open whether apex-only protocols improve prediction.
