A Novel SCN5A Mutation Associated with Drug Induced Brugada Type ECG.

ABSTRACT: Class IC antiarrhythmic agents may induce acquired forms of Brugada Syndrome. We have identified a novel mutation in SCN5A, the gene that encodes the ?-subunit of the human cardiac sodium channel (hNav1.5), in a patient who exhibited Brugada- type ECG changes during pharmacotherapy of atrial arrhythmias.To assess whether the novel mutation p.V1328M can cause drug induced Brugada Syndrome.Administration of pilsicainide, a class IC antiarrhythmic agent, caused Brugada- type ST elevation in a 66-year-old Japanese male who presented with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), type I atrial flutter and inducible ventricular fibrillation (VF) during electrophysiological study. Genetic screening using direct sequencing identified a novel SCN5A variant, p.V1328M. Electrophysiological parameters of WT and p.V1328M and their effects on drug pharmacokinetics were studied using the patch-clamp method.Whole-cell sodium current densities were similar for WT and p.V1328M channels. While p.V1328M mutation did not affect the voltage-dependence of the activation kinetics, it caused a positive shift of voltage-dependent steady-state inactivation by 7 mV. The tonic block in the presence of pilsicainide was similar in WT and p.V1328M, when sodium currents were induced by a low frequency pulse protocol (q15s). On the contrary, p.V1328M mutation enhanced pilsicainide induced use-dependent block at 2 Hz. (Ki: WT, 35.8 ?M; V1328M, 19.3 ?M).Our study suggests that a subclinical SCN5A mutation, p.V1328M, might predispose individuals harboring it to drug-induced Brugada Syndrome.

Project description:Background The rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is ≈1%/y. Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging is a noninvasive mapping system that has a role in assessing BrS depolarization and repolarization abnormalities. This study aimed to analyze electrocardiographic imaging parameters during ajmaline test (AJT). Methods and Results All consecutive epicardial maps of the right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT-EPI) in BrS with CardioInsight were retrospectively analyzed. (1) RVOT-EPI activation time (RVOT-AT); (2) RVOT-EPI recovery time, and (3) RVOT-EPI activation-recovery interval (RVOT-ARI) were calculated. ∆RVOT-AT, ∆RVOT-EPI recovery time, and ∆RVOT-ARI were defined as the difference in parameters before and after AJT. SCD-BrS patients were defined as individuals presenting a history of aborted SCD. Thirty-nine patients with BrS were retrospectively analyzed and 12 patients (30.8%) were SCD-BrS. After AJT, an increase in both RVOT-AT [105.9 milliseconds versus 65.8 milliseconds, P<0.001] and RVOT-EPI recovery time [403.4 milliseconds versus 365.7 milliseconds, P<0.001] was observed. No changes occurred in RVOT-ARI [297.5 milliseconds versus 299.9 milliseconds, P=0.7]. Before AJT no differences were observed between SCD-BrS and non SCD-BrS in RVOT-AT, RVOT-EPI recovery time, and RVOT-ARI (P=0.9, P=0.91, P=0.86, respectively). Following AJT, SCD-BrS patients showed higher RVOT-AT, higher ∆RVOT-AT, lower RVOT-ARI, and lower ∆RVOT-ARI (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.007, P=0.002, respectively). At the univariate logistic regression, predictors of SCD-BrS were the following: RVOT-AT after AJT (specificity: 0.74, sensitivity 1.00, area under the curve 0.92); ∆RVOT-AT (specificity: 0.74, sensitivity 0.92, area under the curve 0.86); RVOT-ARI after AJT (specificity 0.96, sensitivity 0.58, area under the curve 0.79), and ∆RVOT-ARI (specificity 0.85, sensitivity 0.67, area under the curve 0.76). Conclusions Noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging can be useful in evaluating the results of AJT in BrS.
