Aim:
Risk stratification of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in Brugada syndrome remains controversial and it is difficult to describe using one parameter. We investigated whether we are able to assess VF risk using our non-invasive scoring method of each Brugada syndrome patients.
Methods:
We enrolled 46 patients with Brugada syndrome (45 men, average age 42 ± 3 years). Thirteen of the subjects had VF history or subsequent VF events (VF+) after implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation. The frequency of Type1 Brugada ECG and positive TWA were significantly higher in VF+ patients than those without (Type 1 ECG 50% vs 4.8%, P=0.0003 and positive TWA 73.3% vs 6.7%, P<0.0001). We allocated each one point to type 1 Brugada type ECG, family history of sudden cardiac death, history of syncope, positive late potential, and positive time domain T wave alternance as Brugada risk score and count up the score the points in an each subject. The area under the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve for ≥3 points was 0.907 indicating that this Brugada risk score ≥3 points had a high degree of discrimination VF+ Brugada syndrome patients. The positive Brugada risk score was associated with VF history or events with a sensitivity of 85%, specificity of 88%, positive predictive value 73% and negative predictive value 93%.
Conclusions:
The new scoring method using previous reported non-invasive risk factors of VF in Brugada syndrome is useful for assessing risk stratification in daily medical practice.
