🏃‍♂️⚡ Can exercise stress testing (EST) improve the diagnosis and risk stratification of #BrugadaSyndrome? A fascinating new state-of-the-art review highlights that exercise testing is much more than a tool for assessing exercise capacity. In Brugada syndrome, the *recovery phase* may be the key moment to uncover concealed disease and identify patients at higher arrhythmic risk. 🔍 Key takeaways: ✅ Type 1 Brugada ECG pattern is rarely unmasked during peak exercise (~1%) but becomes evident in up to 25% of patients during early recovery. ✅ The transition from sympathetic activation to parasympathetic rebound appears to play a crucial role in ECG changes and arrhythmogenesis. ✅ Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) occurring during early recovery may represent an important marker of future ventricular fibrillation risk. ✅ Exercise-induced malignant arrhythmias are rare, suggesting that EST is generally safe when performed with appropriate monitoring. ✅ Careful ECG monitoring during the first minutes of recovery may provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. 💡 The review supports the concept that both *peak exercise* and *early recovery* offer complementary insights into the electrophysiological substrate of Brugada syndrome and may help refine individualized risk assessment. An important reminder that sometimes the most informative part of a stress test is not the exercise itself—but what happens immediately afterwards. #BrugadaSyndrome #Electrophysiology #Cardiology #InheritedCardiacConditions #SuddenCardiacDeath #Arrhythmias #SportsCardiology #ExerciseTesting #ECG #RiskStratification #PrecisionMedicine #JACCAsia

Which statement concerning exercise testing post-MI is TRUE? A) A maximal test at 4–6 weeks is preferable to a submaximal test at 4–5 days B) ST segment depression is the strongest prognostic variable C) Patients on beta-blockers should undergo pharmacologic imaging instead of exercise testing D) Patients not referred for stress testing have higher mortality than those referred Drop your answers below #Cardiology #MedEd #Myocardialinfarction #ExerciseTesting
