Acta Cardiologica, 2020 Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndrome that causes a heightened risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. BrS is characterised by a coved ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads. The prevalence is estimated to range between 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 2,000 in different populations, with the highest being

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2006 A novel clinical entity characterized by ST segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3), incomplete or complete right bundle branch block, and susceptibility to ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death has been described by Brugada et al. in 1992. This disease is now frequently called "Brugada syndrome" (BrS).

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2022 Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an "inherited" condition characterized by predisposition to syncope and cardiac arrest, predominantly during sleep. The prevalence is ∼1:2,000, and is more commonly diagnosed in young to middle-aged males, although patient sex does not appear to impact prognosis.

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2008 Since its first description in 1992 as a new clinical entity, the Brugada syndrome has aroused great interest among physicians and basic scientists. Two consensus conferences held in 2002 and 2005 helped refine the current accepted definite diagnostic criteria for the syndrome, briefly, the characteristic ECG pattern (right bundle branch block and ...

Cardiac Electrophysiology Review, 1999 The Brugada syndrome is a genetically determined disease caused by mutations of the cardiac sodium channel. The disease affects mainly males in their forties and causes sudden cardiac death because of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. These patients have a structurally normal heart.

Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal, 2014 Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac arrhythmia characterized by electrocardiographic right bundle branch block and persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It is associated with ventricular fibrillation and a high risk for sudden cardiac death, predominantly in younger males with structurally normal hearts.

Cardiogenetics, 2011 The Brugada syndrome demonstrates characteristic electrocardiogram features and is a significant cause of sudden death in young adults with overtly normal cardiac structure and function. The genetic basis has not yet been fully elucidated but our understanding of the causative mutations and modifiers of arrhythmic events is advancing rapidly alongside ...

Heart Vessels and Transplantation, 2022 The vaccination used for the prevention of COVID-19 could unmask patients with hidden Brugada syndrome even without febrile episodes. We described a case of unmasking or Brugada syndrome in a female patient after vaccination for COVID-19.

The Lancet, 2002 The Brugada syndrome has gained wide recognition throughout the world and today is believed to be responsible for 4% to 12% of all sudden deaths and ≈20% of deaths in patients with structurally normal hearts. The incidence of the disease is on the order of 5 per 10 000 inhabitants and, apart from accidents, is the leading cause of death of men under ...

Clinical features of Brugada syndrome
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2013 Brugada syndrome is a clinical entity characterized by type-1 (coved) ST-segment elevation in the right precordial electrocardiographic leads (V1–V3) and an aborted sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the absence of structural ...
