Brugada Syndrome

Transcript of the video: Brugada Syndrome was described by Brugada brothers in 1992 as right bundle branch block pattern in anterior leads with ST segment elevation and syncope or sudden cardiac death and it was later in 1998, that the genetic basis of the disease was identified, with mutations in sodium channel. Later on, several other mutations have been attributed to cause the ECG pattern in Brugada syndrome. I am always happy to see this ECG of Brugada syndrome sent to me by Professor Josep Brugada, in 2001, for the inaugural issue of the Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, which I started in 2001. And, this review article by Brugada brothers, in the very first issue of Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, gave a boos to the journal, so that, in 2007, it was included in PubMed Central, the full text archive of US National Library of Medicine, and earned a position for the journal, as the first online only Indian Journal to be included in PubMed Central, which was mentioned in the Limca Book of Indian Records in 2007. This ECG shows the classical findings of Brugada syndrome, the coved ST elevation seen in the anterior chest leads. Coved ST elevation in anterior chest leads. In V3, it is a saddle shaped ST elevation. You can see the saddle shaped ST elevation. And later on, this was described as the type 2 pattern of Brugada syndrome, while this was described as type 1 pattern and saddle shaped ST with ST elevation was described as type 3. Still later, it ...
