Objective:
To determine the frequency and demographic features of subjects with Brugada-Type ECG pattern in apparently healthy young population.
Study Design:
Cross sectional descriptive study.
Methods:
This study was conducted at School of Nursing Hayatabad Medical Complex, Public Health School, Post Graduate College of Nursing, Qurtaba College, Brain's Post Graduate College and Gandhara Institute of Science and Technology Hayatabad Peshawar from June 2006 to May 2007. A total of one thousand one hundred (1100) subjects, 712 males and 388 females, were included in the study. A prospective analysis of the eleven hundred electrocardiograms (ECG) of healthy young subjects in the above institutions were included in this study.
Results:
Brugada-Type ECG pattern frequency was 0.8% (nine out of one thousand one hundred healthy subjects). Five cases (0.45%) were observed between 16 to 20 years of age and four cases (0.36%) were observed in 21 years and above. Out of total of nine cases of Brugada-Type ECG pattern (Brugada Sign), seven were males (0.6%) and two were females (0.2%).
Conclusion:
Frequency of Brugada-Type ECG pattern was 0.8% in the apparently healthy young students in Hayatabad Peshawar.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism, and...
