Case Studies in Hispanic/Latino Populations
There are also select case studies highlighting ion channelopathies among Hispanic patients. One such case reported by Sharma et al. discussed Brugada syndrome (BrS) in a patient of Hispanic origin with ventricular fibrillation and an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery.22 The patient underwent successful intervention, and subsequent testing did not reproduce the Brugada pattern on an ECG. The case underscores the significance of thorough investigations and tailored management strategies in the context of such intricate cardiac presentations.22 Another case presented by Gautam et al. discussed the presentation of BrS masquerading as an acute coronary syndrome in a Hispanic patient, manifesting as an abnormal ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.23 This highlights the potential of BrS to cause SCD in patients with structurally normal hearts.
