Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evidence for the role of the CACNA1C gene, which encodes for the α-subunit of the cardiac L-type calcium channel CaV1.2, as a cause of the BrS3 variant of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is contradictory. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to define in a large BrS cohort the yield of molecular screening and to test whether appropriate patient selection could improve clinical utility. METHODS: A total of...
