Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition that is characterized by dyspnea and arterial oxygen desaturation, which worsen on standing and which are relieved by recumbency. We treated an 80-year-old woman with an atrial septal defect (ASD) who demonstrated POS following thoracic and lumbar vertebral compression fractures. The surgical closure of the ASD relieved her symptoms. The etiology might have been multiple compression fractures causing kyphosis and aortic distortion producing right atrial compression and increased right-to-left flow through the ASD. POS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who develop dyspnea after vertebral compression fractures. The careful assessment of the patient's history and clinical condition helps in the diagnosis of POS.

BACKGROUND: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is useful for detecting myocardial injury and is expected to become a prognostic marker in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this pilot study evaluating the efficacy of β-blocker therapy in a perioperative setting (MAMACARI study) was to assess perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) in elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction (EF) undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods and Results:In this prospective observational cohort study of 151 consecutive patients with preserved EF and aged >60 years who underwent non-cardiac surgery, serum levels of hs-cTnT were measured before and on postoperative days 1 and 3 after surgery. PMI was defined as postoperative hs-cTnT >0.014 ng/mL and relative hs-cTnT change ≥20%. A total of 36 (23.8%) of the patients were diagnosed as having PMI. The incidence of a composite of cardiovascular events within 30 days after surgery, including myocardial infarction, stroke, worsening heart failure, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary embolism, was significantly higher in patients with PMI than in patients without PMI (odds ratio (OR) 9.25, P<0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.65-32.3). Multivariate analysis revealed that left ventricular diastolic dysfunction defined by echocardiography was independently associated with PMI (OR: 3.029, 95% CI: 1.341-6.84, P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS: PMI is frequently observed in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Diastolic dysfunction is an independent predictor of PMI.

BACKGROUND: In Brugada syndrome (BrS), it has been reported that delayed activation in the RV is related to the development of type-1 ECG, which is more critical than type-2. On the other hand, the coexistence of complete right bundle-branch block (CRBBB), which also causes delayed activation in the RV, sometimes makes typical BrS ECG misleading. We hypothesized that premature stimulation of the RV can unmask the influence of delayed activation in the RV and convert the morphology of ECG in BrS patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 35 BrS patients with type-1 ECG including 8 patients with concomitant CRBBB and 6 control subjects with CRBBB, progressively premature single stimulations were delivered from the RV apex on electrophysiological study. Then we evaluated QRS morphology of fusion beats created by single premature stimulation in each patient. In 29 (83%) of 35 of the BrS patients, conversion from type-1 to type-2 ECG was observed during the process of single premature stimulation. Additionally, in all 8 BrS patients with concomitant CRBBB, type-1 or type-2 BrS ECG was revealed by premature stimulation with relief of CRBBB. These findings were not observed in any of the control subjects with CRBBB. CONCLUSION: Single premature stimulation of the RV converts ECG from type-1 to type-2 in most BrS cases and unmasks type-1 ECG in all BrS cases with CRBBB. Our results could suggest that type-1 ECG is associated with delayed activation of the RV compared with type-2 ECG.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

INTRODUCTION: New onset of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in asymptomatic patients with Brugada-type ECG is not frequent, but it cannot be negligible. Risk markers for predicting VF are usually based on results of analysis in symptomatic patients, and they have not been determined for asymptomatic patients. We analyzed ECG markers in patients with Brugada syndrome to differentiate the risk factors for VF in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. METHODS: The subjects were 471 patients with Brugada syndrome and we divided the subjects into two groups: Asymptomatic group (n = 326) and Symptomatic group (syncope: n = 122, VF: n = 23). We analyzed the following ECG markers: RR, PQ, QRS, QT and Tpeak-Tend (Tpe) intervals, ST level, atrial fibrillation (AF), atrioventricular block, spontaneous type 1 ECG, early repolarization (ER) and fragmented QRS (fQRS). RESULTS: During follow-up (91 ± 64 months), 41 patients experienced VF (Asymptomatic: n = 10, Symptomatic: n = 31). Univariable analysis showed that spontaneous type 1 ECG, Tpe interval (≥95 milliseconds), high ST level (≥0.52 mV) and fQRS were common predictors for VF in both the Asymptomatic and Symptomatic groups. In addition to the common risk factors, wide QRS (≥107 milliseconds), long QT interval (≥420 milliseconds), ER and AF were predictors for VF in Symptomatic group. Multivariable analysis of the Symptomatic group showed fQRS, Tpe and ER were independent predictors of prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: fQRS and Tpe interval are common risk factors for VF in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients, whereas ER is a predictor for recurrent VF.

Exercise stress test reveals ineligibility for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator in patients with Brugada syndrome. International journal

Motomi Tachibana, Nobuhiro Nishii, Hiroshi Morita, Koji Nakagawa, Atsuyuki Watanabe, Kazufumi Nakamura, Hiroshi Ito

Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology 28 ( 12 ) 1454 - 1459 2017.12

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: The eligibility of patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) for implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) is not well known. This study aimed to clarify the eligibility of BrS patients for S-ICD using electrocardiography (ECG) at rest and during exercise testing. We also analyzed factors associated with ineligibility for S-ICD from standard 12-lead ECG at rest. METHODS: We enrolled 110 consecutive BrS patients who visited Okayama university hospital from December 2015 to December 2016. All patients were assessed for S-ICD eligibility, which required one lead to satisfy the S-ICD screening template. We assessed standard 12-lead ECG parameters in all participants. Of those who passed S-ICD screening, 45 patients were assessed for S-ICD eligibility during treadmill stress test. RESULTS: Mean age of study patients was 54 ± 13 years and 108 (98%) were men. In total, 89 patients (81%) satisfied S-ICD indications at rest. Existence of complete right bundle branch block (CRBBB) on standard 12-lead ECG was a significant predictor of ineligibility for S-ICD (odds ratio, 5.00; P = 0.03; 95%CI, 1.14-21.98). Of the 45 patients who underwent treadmill stress testing, 11 patients (24%) showed ineligibility for S-ICD during the test. CONCLUSION: CRBBB was a predictor of ineligibility for S-ICD in patients with BrS. Sinus tachycardia changes ECG morphology in some patients and stress testing should be considered before S-ICD implantation.

BACKGROUND: The genotype-phenotype correlation of SCN5A mutations as a predictor of cardiac events in Brugada syndrome remains controversial. We aimed to establish a registry limited to probands, with a long follow-up period, so that the genotype-phenotype correlation of SCN5A mutations in Brugada syndrome can be examined without patient selection bias. METHODS: This multicenter registry enrolled 415 probands (n=403; men, 97%; age, 46±14 years) diagnosed with Brugada syndrome whose SCN5A gene was analyzed for mutations. RESULTS: During a mean follow-up period of 72 months, the overall cardiac event rate was 2.5%/y. In comparison with probands without mutations (SCN5A (-), n=355), probands with SCN5A mutations (SCN5A (+), n=60) experienced their first cardiac event at a younger age (34 versus 42 years, P=0.013), had a higher positive rate of late potentials (89% versus 73%, P=0.016), exhibited longer P-wave, PQ, and QRS durations, and had a higher rate of cardiac events (P=0.017 by log-rank). Multivariate analysis indicated that only SCN5A mutation and history of aborted cardiac arrest were significant predictors of cardiac events (SCN5A (+) versus SCN5A (-): hazard ratio, 2.0 and P=0.045; history of aborted cardiac arrest versus no such history: hazard ratio, 6.5 and P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Brugada syndrome patients with SCN5A mutations exhibit more conduction abnormalities on ECG and have higher risk for cardiac events.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

A 7-year-old boy presented at our hospital with syncope. At birth, electrocardiography had shown a long QT interval with torsade de pointes (TdP). Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) had been diagnosed by genetic testing, and was successfully controlled with oral propranolol. At age 7, TdP had recurred with syncope. Electrocardiography revealed a prominent long QT interval with T-wave alternans. The propranolol dose was increased, but TdP remained uncontrolled. A cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted epicardially, and TdP completely resolved with atrial pacing. We report this rare case of ICD implantation in a child with LQTS.

Distribution and Prognostic Significance of Fragmented QRS in Patients With Brugada Syndrome. International journal

Hiroshi Morita, Atsuyuki Watanabe, Yoshimasa Morimoto, Satoshi Kawada, Motomi Tachibana, Koji Nakagawa, Nobuhiro Nishii, Hiroshi Ito

Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology 10 ( 3 ) 2017.3

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

BACKGROUND: Fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) in the right precordial leads are associated with occurrence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in Brugada syndrome. Recently, epicardial mapping has revealed abnormal electrograms at the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract and inferior region of the right ventricle. fQRS may reflect the extent of the area of abnormal potentials, but whether the distribution of fQRS has prognostic value is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS: We evaluated the existence of fQRS in 456 patients with Brugada syndrome, including 117 patients with syncope and 23 patients with VF. The region of fQRS was defined as inferior (II, III, and aVF), lateral (I, aVL, and V5 and V6), anterior (V3 and V4), RV (V1 and V2), and RV outflow tract (V1 and V2 at the third intercostal space). fQRS were present in 229 patients (RV outflow tract in 175, inferior in 135, RV in 90, and lateral in 16 patients). During follow-up (mean 91 months), 39 patients experienced VF. In univariable analyses, fQRS in any distribution and fQRS in each region excluding the RV were associated with VF. Multivariable analysis showed that fQRS in the inferior (hazard ratio, 3.9; confidence interval, 1.9-8.5), lateral (hazard ratio, 3.5; confidence interval, 1.2-8.2), and RV outflow tract (hazard ratio, 2.5; confidence interval, 1.2-5.6) were associated with VF events. The presence of multiple regions of fQRS was associated with worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of fQRS is associated with prognosis in Brugada syndrome, further supporting the association of fQRS and arrhythmia substrate.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by J-point or ST-segment elevation on electrocardiograms (ECGs) and increased risk of ventricular fibrillation (VF). In BrS, epicardial depolarization abnormality with delayed potential on the right ventricular outflow tract is reportedly the predominant mechanism underlying VF. Yet VF occurrence is also associated with early repolarization (ER) pattern in the inferolateral ECG leads, which may represent the inferior and/or left lateral ventricular myocardium. The aim of this study was to examine epicardial electrograms recorded directly at the left ventricle (LV) in BrS patients after VF episodes. Methods: In 12 BrS patients who had experienced VF episodes and 17 control subjects, a multipolar catheter was introduced into the left lateral coronary vein for unipolar and bipolar electrogram recordings at the LV epicardium. Both inferior and lateral ER patterns on ECG were observed in three BrS patients and six control subjects. Results: In the epicardium, prominent J waves were detected using unipolar recording, and potentials after the QRS complex were detected using bipolar recording in three of the 12 BrS patients. These three patients also showed both inferior and lateral ER patterns on ECG. Neither prominent J waves nor potentials after the QRS complex were recorded at the endocardium of the LV in any of these three patients; nor were they seen at the epicardium in any of the control subjects. These features were accentuated on pilsicainide administration (n = 2) but diminished on constant atrial pacing (n = 3) and isoproterenol administration (n = 1). The J waves observed through unipolar recording coincided with the potentials after QRS complex observed through bipolar recording and with the inferolateral ER patterns on ECG. Conclusions: We recorded prominent J waves in unipolar electrogram and potentials after QRS complex in bipolar electrogram at the LV epicardium in BrS patients with global ER pattern. The prominent J waves coincided with the potentials after QRS complex and the inferolateral ER pattern on ECG. The characteristics of the inferolateral ER pattern on ECG in these patients primarily represent depolarization feature.
