Electrocardiographic patterns of the Brugada syndrome in 2 young patients with pectus excavatum

Abstract:
I hypothesized that thoracic deformity of pectus excavatum may induce the Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern because of the presumed chronic injury to the right ventricle. Thus, I examined the 5 outpatients with pectus excavatum to determine the presence or absence of the ECG pattern of Brugada syndrome. Four of 5 study patients accompanied incomplete right bundle branch block pattern. Among these 4, 2 patients presented with Brugada-type ECG pattern, ie, right bundle branch block pattern and ST-segment elevation in the right precordial ECG leads. Both of them with Brugada-type ECG had no past history of syncope, family history of sudden death, or malignant arrhythmias on the 24-h Holter ECG recording. These observations suggest that clinically benign Brugada-type ECG pattern may appear in some patients with pectus excavatum.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
