Brugada syndrome: a review of the literature.
Brugada syndrome is an example of a channelopathy caused by an alteration in the transmembrane ion currents that together constitute the cardiac action potential. Approximately 20% of the cases of Brugada syndrome have been shown to be associated with mutations in the gene coding for the sodium ion channel in the cell membranes of the muscle cells of the heart. Patients with Brugada syndrome ar...
متن کاملBrugada syndrome.
Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac arrhythmia characterized by electrocardiographic right bundle branch block and persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It is associated with ventricular fibrillation and a high risk for sudden cardiac death, predominantly in younger males with structurally normal hearts.

متن کامل[Brugada syndrome].
The Brugada syndrome is characterised clinically by the occurrence of syncope or sudden death due to ventricular arrhythmias in patients with structurally normal hearts and electrocardiographic signs of right bundle branch block and ST elevation in the right precordial leads (V1 to V3). The transmission of the condition is autosomal dominant with variable penetration. Mutations have been identi...

In 1992 it has originally been described as an autosomal-dominant inherited arrhythmic disorder defined by ST elevation with successive negative T wave without structural cardiac abnormalities in the right precordial leads [3]. In 1996, in the description of the cellular basis for the J-wave of the ECG by Yan a...
