A rare, genetic, cardiac rhythm disease characterized by ventricular fibrillation in the absence of any structural or functional heart disease, or known repolarization abnormalities. The presence of J waves is associated with a higher risk of nocturnal ventricular fibrillation events and a higher risk of recurrence.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for paroxysmal familial ventricular fibrillation has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
2 clinical trials registered, 2 recruiting. Interventions under study include drug therapy, other interventions, and gene therapy. Pipeline includes 1 PHASE4. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
85 publications have been identified in PubMed for paroxysmal familial ventricular fibrillation. Research spans Epidemiology / Natural History (22%), Case Report / Case Series (21%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (16%).
