“…Previous literature has suggested that severe breath-holding spells, especially if repetitive and atypical, should raise concern for an underlying rhythm abnormality. 37 We have identified three patientstwo siblings and one unrelatedwith severe breath-holding spells, including loss of consciousness and sphincter control, which were later diagnosed as familial Brugada syndrome cases. We present Case III as an example.…”

“…Linzer et al report 12 patients diagnosed with epilepsy who subsequently were found to have either arrhythmias or neurally mediated syncope. 15 There have been other case reports 13,16 and case series [17][18][19][20][21][22] documenting patients previously diagnosed with epilepsy who turn out to have cardiac etiologies. However, it is unclear how common this problem is.…”

“…A Síndrome do QT Longo (SQTL) é a principal causa de morte súbita, de origem cardíaca em crianças e adultos jovens (4) , e o ECG é o único teste de seleção disponível para a detecção da SQTL, segundo Allan et al (24,25) . Outros autores reforçam estas justificativas (7,(23)(24)(25)(26)31) e citam outras formas de triagem na suspeita desta patologia (22,30,31) . Esta importância assume dimensões ainda maiores quando a Sociedade Européia de Cardiologia (4) , através de sua Diretriz para interpretação do ECG no RN, exorta seus membros a influenciarem as agências reguladoras de saúde, junto a seus países, a implantar uma lei que torne rotina a realização de um ECG no primeiro mês de vida.…”

“…Para diagnóstico da SQTL, Schwartz et al (7) , Walter C Allan (22) , renomado neuropediatra, com várias publicações sobre Síndrome do QT Longo (SQTL), sugere aos colegas de especialidade, a realização do ECG de repouso durante a eletroencefalografia para, em especial, aferir o intervalo QT. Em outro estudo, o mesmo autor (23) analisa 310 crianças com histórico de desmaio, identifica um terço de afetados pela SQTL mediante a simples e sistemática aferição do intervalo QT corrigido (QTc), e aponta que, para os afetados e não afetados, manteve-se com valor médio de 484ms ( 31ms) e 420ms ( 21ms) respectivamente.…”
