New electrocardiographic criteria to differentiate the Type-2 Brugada pattern from electrocardiogram of healthy athletes with r'-wave in leads V1/V2.
AIMS Diagnosis of Type-2 Brugada pattern remains challenging and it could be confused with other electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns presenting an r'-wave in leads V1-V2 like in healthy athletes. This could impact their ability to perform competitive sports. The aim of the study was to evaluate, as a proof of concept, the new ECG criteria to differentiate the Type-2 Brugada pattern from the ECG pa...
متن کاملIntoxication with alcohol: An underestimated trigger of Brugada syndrome?
Alcohol intoxication is a potentially under-recognised precipitant of Brugada syndrome. Higher pre-cordial electrocardiogram lead placement increases sensitivity of detecting the Brugada pattern.
متن کاملThe Brugada syndrome--an electrocardiogram with important mortality implications.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable screening tool for increased risk in underwriting life insurance applicants. This article discusses a recently described ECG pattern associated with a high risk of sudden unexpected death.
متن کاملType 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram induced by hypokalemia
Coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads are the characteristics of Brugada syndrome, an inherited arrhythmogenic ion channel disease, which could lead to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death. Hypokalemia alone may induce Type 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram (EKG), and the association has rarely been reported. We describe a patient with hypokalemia 2.9 mmol/L and the...
متن کاملA Case of Type I and II Brugada Phenocopy Unmasked in a Patient with Normal Baseline Electrocardiogram (ECG)
BACKGROUND Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram (ECG) is seen when there are at least 2 mm J-point elevation and 1 mm ST-segment elevation in two or more of the right precordial leads, with right bundle-branch block (RBBB)-like morphology. Elevation of a coved-type shape in leads V1 and V2 is consistent with type I Brugada pattern, whereas elevation of a saddle-back configuration distinguishes ...
