Unfortunately, before this could be accomplished — the patient went into cardiac arrest. She was successfully resuscitated — with a post-arrest rhythm similar to that seen in Figure-1. Cardiac cath did not reveal significant coronary disease!

ST elevation (STE) in lead augmented vector right (aVR), coexistent with multilead ST depression, was endorsed as a sign of acute occlusion of the left main or proximal left anterior descending coronary artery in the 2013 STEMI guidelines. Thirty-six patients (36%) presented with cardiac arrest, and 78% (28/36) underwent emergent angiography.

This ECG pattern may be diagnostic of B rugada S yndrome IF seen in association with: i ) a history of cardiac arrest; polymorphic VT; or of non-vagal syncope; and / or ii ) a positive family history of sudden death at an early age; and / or iii ) a similar ECG in relatives. This is not RBBB ( TOP LEFT in Figure-2 ).

This definition was changed following an expert consensus panel in 2013 — so that all that is currently needed to diagnose Brugada Syndrome is a spontaneous or induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern, without need for additional criteria. Panel B in Figure-1 illustrates the Brugada Type-2 or “Saddle-back” ECG pattern.

In addition to a spontaneous or induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern, criteria for B rugada S yndrome require one or more of the following: History of cardiac arrest, of polymorphoic VT, or of non-vagal syncope — positive family history of sudden death at an early age — a similar ECG in close relatives.

BackgroundBystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (B‐CPR) and defibrillation for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary by sex, with women being less likely to receive these interventions in public. CARES collected 457 621 arrests (2013–2019); after appropriate exclusion, 309 662 were included.
