Brugada syndrome (BrS) is classically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with age- and sex-related penetrance, and is associated with an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), which is often nocturnal, and is usually in persons with a structurally normal heart. The diagnosis of BrS is made when a type 1 pattern with coved ≥2 mm ST elevation in ≥1 right precordial leads is seen at rest or on provocation with a sodium channel blocker (procainamide USA; Ajmaline Europe) on surface 12-lead ECG (in the usual position of the fourth intercostal space (ICS) or by moving leads V1 and V2 to the second and third ICS) (Priori et al. 2013).

摘要

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is classically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, with age- and sex-related penetrance, and is associated with an increased incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), which is often nocturnal, and is usually in persons with a structurally normal heart. The diagnosis of BrS is made when a type 1 pattern with coved ≥2 mm ST elevation in ≥1 right precordial leads is seen at rest or on provocation with a sodium channel blocker (procainamide USA; Ajmaline Europe) on surface 12-lead ECG (in the usual position of the fourth intercostal space (ICS) or by moving leads V1 and V2 to the second and third ICS) (Priori et al. 2013).
