Inherited arrhythmia syndrome predisposing to sudden cardiac death
Yun Gi Kim, Suk-Kyu Oh, Ha Young Choi, Jong-Il Choi
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(3):527-538. Published online March 26, 2021
Inherited arrhythmia (IA) is one of the main causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people, and is reported to be a more prevalent cause of SCD in Asia than in Western countries. IAs are a group of genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding cardiac ion channels, leading to electr..

Comparative occurrence of ischemic stroke with the rhythm versus rate control strategy in a national prospective cohort of atrial fibrillation
Jae Guk Kim, Young Soo Lee, Ki-Woon Kang, Eue-Keun Choi, Myung-Jin Cha, Jung-Myung Lee, Jin-Bae Kim, Junbeom Park, Jin-Kyu Park, Tae-Hoon Kim, Jae-Sun Uhm, Jaemin Shim, Jun Kim, HyungWook Park, Changsoo Kim, Boyoung Joung
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(1):114-123. Published online October 14, 2019
Background/Aims: Comparative occurrence of ischemic stroke for rhythm versus rate control strategy in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is still inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the rhythm control strategy is associated with a lower risk of isch..

Masked inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes in sudden cardiac death patients accompanied by coronary vasospasm
Ki Hong Lee, Hyung Wook Park, Jeong Nam Eun, Jeong Gwan Cho, Nam Sik Yoon, Mi Ran Kim, Yo Han Ku, Hyukjin Park, Seung Hun Lee, Jeong Han Kim, Min Chul Kim, Woo Jin Kim, Hyun Kuk Kim, Jae Yeong Cho, Keun-Ho Park, Doo Sun Sim, Hyun Ju Yoon, Kye Hun Kim, Young Joon Hong, Ju Han Kim, Youngkeun Ahn, Myung Ho Jeong, Jong Chun Park
Korean J Intern Med. 2017;32(5):836-846. Published online August 11, 2017
Background/Aims: Coronary vasospasms are one of the important causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Provocation of coronary vasospasms can be useful, though some results may lead to false positives, with patients potentially experiencing recurrent SCD despite appropriate medical treatments. We hypot..

Electrocardiographic artefacts mimicking atrial tachycardia resulted in unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures
Shams Y-Hassan, Christer Sylvén
Korean J Intern Med. 2013;28(2):224-230. Published online February 27, 2013
Electrocardiographic (ECG) artefacts may closely simulate both supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias. We describe a case initially diagnosed as rapid atrial fibrillation, based on 12-lead surface ECG (especially the limb leads) and monitor tracing. The arrhythmia was resistant to beta blo..
