European Heart Journal, 08/26/09
Pappone C et al. – This study, for the first time, reveals the prevalence of latent BrS in patients with new–onset lone AF, which may precede VT/VF. Persistence of type 1 and ventricular tachyarrhythmias inducibility represents a marker of electrical instability leading to sudden death.
