Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is a disease known to cause ventricular fibrillation with a structurally normal heart and is linked to SCN5A gene mutation. However, the mechanism by which ventricular fibrillation develops in cases of Brugada-type electrocardiogram without SCN5A mutation has remained unclear. Recently, oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmia. We also...
