Brugada Syndrome: 30 Years of Scientific Ventures

Abstract:
Thirty years ago, a distinctly new clinical-electrocardiographic syndrome was described, today known as Brugada Syndrome (BrS). Typical treatment for this type of syndrome is electrocardiography with ST-segment elevation in the direct precordial derivations. The clinical presentation of the disease is highly variable: the patients can remain completely asymptomatic, but they can also develop episodes of syncope, atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node dysfunction (SNF), conduction disorders, asystole, and ventricular fibrillation (VF). This disease is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for the potential action of cardiac cells. The most commonly involved gene is SCN5A, which controls the structure and function of the heart's sodium channel. The description of this new syndrome has shown highly positive implications in all fields of medicine.
