What is Brugada ECG pattern?

Brugada syndrome is a disorder characterized by sudden death associated with one of several electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns characterized by incomplete right bundle-branch block and ST elevations in the anterior precordial leads.

Does Brugada syndrome show on ECG?

Tests for Brugada syndrome The main test for Brugada syndrome is as an electrocardiogram (ECG). It checks the heart’s electrical activity and is usually done in hospital.

Can you have a normal ECG with Brugada syndrome?

How is the heart affected in Brugada syndrome (BrS)?

Brugada syndrome ( BrS) is a genetic disorder in which the electrical activity within the heart is abnormal. It increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death. Those affected may have episodes of passing out . The abnormal heart rhythms seen in those with Brugada syndrome often occur at rest. They may be triggered by a fever.

What is the history of Brugada syndrome?

Brugada syndrome (BrS) was first described in 1992 as a syndrome characterized by right bundle branch block with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and development of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation [VT/VF]) despite no evident underlying heart disease (1).
