The purpose of this study is to determine if quinidine therapy (not guided by the results of electrophysiologic studies) will reduce the long-term risk of arrhythmic events in asymptomatic Brugada Syndrome.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
---|---|---|
Arrhythmia |
Drug: quinidine Drug: no therapy |
Phase II Phase III |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Prevention, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | A Prospective Trial Of Empiric Quinidine Therapy For Asymptomatic Brugada Syndrome. |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
---|---|
Quinidine: Experimental
Patients with type I Brugada electrocardiogram (either spontaneous or following a drug challenge with sodium channel blocker) who never experienced arrhythmia-related symptoms. Patients will receive quinidine therapy at the discretion of the attending physician.
|
Drug: quinidine
quinidine at highest tolerated dose. Expected doses are hydroquinidine 600 - 900 mg daily.
|
no therapy: Active Comparator
Patients with asymptomatic Brugada syndrome who opted to receive no therapy following the recommendation of their attending physician
|
Drug: no therapy |
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
