Abstract:
The Brugada syndrome is an arrhythmic syndrome characterized by a right bundle branch block pattern and an segment elevation in the right precordial leads of the electrocardiogram, in conjunction with a high incidence of sudden death secondary to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. No evidence of structural heart disease is noted during diagnostic evaluation of these patients. The prognosis is poor with up to a 10 per year mortality. Antiarrhythmic drugs have no benefit in prolonging survival. The treatment of choice is the insertion of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
