Background Brugada syndrome and long-QT may account for at least one third of unexplained sudden cardiac deaths. Dental care in patients with channelopathies is challenging because the potential risk life-threatening events. We hypothesized that use local dental anesthesia lidocaine without epinephrine safe does not result arrhythmias channelopathies. Methods Results performed a randomized, double-blind pilot trial comparing 2% vasoconstrictor 1:100 000 2 sessions restorative treatment...
Background Dental anesthetic management in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients with cardiac channelopathies (CCh) can be challenging due to the potential risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and appropriate ICD therapies during procedural time. Objectives The present study assessed hypothesis that use local dental anesthesia 2% lidocaine 1:100,000 epinephrine or without a vasoconstrictor safe selected CCh patients, not resulting events (LTE). Methods Restorative treatment...
