Background
- Genetically-linked Na-channelopathy
- Increased risk of sudden cardiac death (~10%/yr)
- Much more common in men (up to 9x)
- ECG shows incomplete RBBB with ST elevation in V1-V3
ECG Criteria
- Note - ECG findings can be transient
- Type 1-Elevated ST segment (>2mm) descends w/ upward convexity to a TWI
- Type 2-Elevated ST segment (>1mm) descends toward baseline then rises again (saddleback) to upright T wave
- Type 3-Elevated ST segment (<1mm) descends toward baseline then rises again to upright T wave
Disposition
- Pt requires admission for AICD placement
