Background: The diagnosis precision of Brugada algorithm in discriminating between supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia remains controversial. We aim to evaluate the diagnostic value of Brugada algorithm in broad complex tachycardia arrhythmia.
Methods: Eligible studies were identified through searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science databases, Wan Fang data resource, China National Knowledge Infrastructure prior to 5st January 2018. Studies were assessed for quality using the Quality Assessment for Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy, 2nd version (QUADAS-2). Pooled sensitivity and pooled specificity with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using random-effects models. Summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curves and the area under curve (AUC) were performed.
Results: A total of 13 studi.. Read More»
