Task Force on Sudden Cardiac Death of the European Society of Cardiology.
The members of the Task Force on Sudden Death dedicate this paper to the memory of their former friend and colleague, Professor Ronald W. F. Campbell, who spent his life working in the field of sudden cardiac death, and the extent of the expanding knowledge in this field is described.

It is shown that sodium channels with the missense mutation recover from inactivation more rapidly than normal and that the frameshift mutation causes the sodium channel to be non-functional.

Sudden Death Associated With Short-QT Syndrome Linked to Mutations in HERG

- Medicine, BiologyCirculation
- 15 December 2003
The genetic basis for a new clinical entity characterized by sudden death and short-QT intervals in the ECG is described and a novel genetic and biophysical mechanism responsible for sudden death in infants, children, and young adults caused by mutations in KCNH2 is demonstrated.

The electrocardiographic signature of the Brugada syndrome is dynamic and often concealed, but can be unmasked by potent sodium channel blockers such as flecainide, ajmaline, and procainamide, although the specificity of this effect for uncovering patients at risk for sudden death has been an issue of concern.
A New Approach to the Differential Diagnosis of a Regular Tachycardia With a Wide QRS Complex

- MedicineCirculation
- 1 May 1991
New, simpler criteria are identified and incorporated in a stepwise approach that provides better sensitivity and specificity for making a correct diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia and may prevent diagnostic mistakes.

An ECG showing right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads is a marker of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death.
