Pediheart Podcast #123: A Novel Autoantibody Test For Brugada Syndrome

This week we speak with Professor Robert Hamilton of University of Toronto about a recent potentially groundbreaking work on a novel approach to the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome using an immunological test. How accurate is this test for diagnosis of this often elusive syndrome? Is autoimmunity the cause of disease or are the antibodies just a marker of disease. What's the latest on Professor Hamilton's work on testing for ARVC (reviewed previously in episode 43)? Dr. Hamilton provides us with lots of answers this week. For those interested in collaborating in his studies, his email and that of his research coordinator are in the podcast this week. doi: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehaa383
