Study summary

In this study the investigators analyse echocardiographic images before and during Ajmaline test. The purpose is to know if any echocardiographic modifications are present during either negative or positive Ajmaline testing.

Read the detailed description

The diagnosis of Brugada Syndrome is made when a type 1 pattern is present on the electrocardiogram (ECG), either spontaneously or after administration of a sodium channel blocker. For pathofysiological understanding, the investigators will analyse echocardiography images before and during the administration of Ajmaline. Comparing echocardiographies before and during negative Ajmaline test, will allow the investigators to indentify the effect of Ajmaline administration on cardiac function. The comparison between images of negative and positive Ajmaline tests will expose differences related to the occurence of a type 1 ECG.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 9, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
