The project aims to verify whether there is an association between higher occurrence of nonsustained atrial tachycardia (TANS) in Holter 24h in hypertensive patients with increased arterial stiffness, allowing to identify individuals at higher risk for developing long-term atrial fibrillation. (AU)
Potentially lethal ion channel disorders such as Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia may account for at least one-third of the unexplained cases of sudden cardiac death (30%), although structural cardiovascular abnormalities explain most of them (70%). Diagnosis of channelopathy is performed according to clinical criteria and geneti…
