Can an implantable loop recorder improve risk stratification and appropriate management in Brugada syndrome?

Graphical Abstract Graphical Abstract Based on the study Bergonti et al.12 and other recent publications7,14,15 the flow chart summarizes a possible role for an ILR and EPS in the risk stratification of Brugada patients and a proposal for different therapeutic management, which also considers possible alternatives to ICD implantation. EPS+, induction of sustained ventricular tacchycardia or ventricular fibrillation at electrophysiological study; EPS–, electrophysiological study without arrhythmia induction; ICD, implantable cardioverter defibrillator; ILR, implantable loop recorder.
