Clinical Information
(Cardiac Sarcoidosis: An inflammatory disease that causes granular clumps of cells similar to scar tissue
to proliferate; Chagas Disease: An illness spread by the reduvid bug. Cardiomyopathy is a common sign
of Chagas disease; Giant Cell Myocarditis: A rare cardiovascular disease where giant multi-nucleate cells
form in the heart)
(“Other risk factors” may include family history of sudden death; Long-QT syndrome = A congenital
disorder characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on ECG and a tendency to ventricular
tachyarrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest, or sudden death, For Long-QT, time
interval must be> 500 msec OR Long QT 2 or 3; “Fainting” = Syncope. List of common beta blockers:
Betapace (sotalol), Blocadren (timolol), Brevibloc (esomol), Cartrol (carteolol), Coreg (carvedilol),
Corgard (nadolol), Inderal-LA (propranolol), Kerlone (betaxolol), Levatol (penbutolol), Lopressor
(metoprolol), Normodyne (labetalol), Sectral (acebutolol), Tenormin (atenolol), Toprol-XL (metoprolol),
Trandate (labetalol), Visken (pindolol), Zebeta (bisoprolol))
3. Is there Brugada syndrome and a history of unexplained syncope? (Brugada syndrome is a genetic
disorder that can cause ventricular tachyarrhythmias that lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden
cardiac death)
4. Is there HCM, and one risk factor for sudden death? (HCM = Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. HCM is a
disease of the heart muscle where a portion of the heart thickens without any obvious reason. Risk
factors for sudden death include: sudden fainting (unheralded syncope); family history of sudden death;
septal wall thickness of greater than or equal to 30 mm; abnormal Blood Pressure from exercising –i.e.
flat response/failure to augment; rise then fall during exercise.)
5. Is there ARVC and one risk factor for sudden death? (ARVC = Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular
Cardiomyopathy. Risk factors for sudden death include: induction of VT during electrophysiological
testing; detection of non-sustained VT on noninvasive Monitoring; male gender; severe right ventricular
dilation; extensive right ventricular involvement; left ventricular involvement; or Unexplained syncope.)
