Abstrakt: Background: There are limited real-world data on the extended prognosis of patients with drug-induced type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG).
Objective: We assessed the clinical outcomes and predictors of life-threatening arrhythmias in patients with drug-induced type 1 Brugada ECG.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective study, conducted at 21 Italian and Swiss hospitals from July 1997 to May 2021, included consecutive patients with drug-induced type 1 ECG. The primary outcome, a composite of appropriate ICD therapies and sudden cardiac death, was assessed along with the clinical predictors of these events.
Results: A total of 606 patients (mean age 49.7 ± 14.7 years; 423 [69.8%] men) were followed for a median of 60.3 months (interquartile range 23.0-122.4 months). Nineteen patients (3.1%) experienced life-threatening arrhythmias, with a median annual event rate of 0.5% over 5 years and 0.25% over 10 years. The SCN5A mutation was the only predictor of the primary outcome (hazard ratio 4.54; P = .002), whereas a trend was observed for unexplained syncope (hazard ratio 3.85; P = .05). In patients who were asymptomatic at presentation, the median annual rate of life-threatening arrhythmias is 0.24% over 5 years and increases to 1.2% if they have inducible ventricular fibrillation during programmed ventricular stimulation.
Conclusion: In patients with drug-induced type 1 Brugada ECG, the annual risk of life-threatening arrhythmias is low, with the SCN5A mutation as the only independent predictor. Unexplained syncope correlated with worse clinical outcomes. Ventricular fibrillation inducibility at programmed ventricular stimulation significantly increases the median annual rate of life-threatening arrhythmias from 0.24% to 1.2% over 5 years.
