Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Other parameters which are thought to convey risk in Brugada syndrome are Tpeak-Tend >100 ms in chest leads, early repolarization pattern in inferior leads, post exercise ST segment elevation and diurnal burden of Type 1 ECG pattern on Holter monitoring [4]. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study. mV or R/q ≥ 0.75.
