Exercise testing in asymptomatic patients with type 1 Brugada pattern aids in identification of high-risk patients and provides a unique window of opportunity for early intervention.

Multiple reports of familial clustering suggest that genetic factors may contribute in the pathogenesis of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). We report three cases of AVNRT in a father and his two sons along with a review of literature of other similar cases. Electrophysiological studies induced typical AVNRT, which was successfully eliminated by radiofrequency ablation in all of them. Of the 22 reported cases, 96% had typical (slow-fast) variant of AVNRT. The predominant pattern of inheritance appears to be autosomal dominant, though other patterns may exist. Further research is needed to understand the genetic influence of AVNRT and its pathophysiology.

Delayed recovery of AV conduction is possible in TC, thus implying to wait for a longer period before implanting a pacemaker.
