ABSTRACT

The disease known as Brugada Syndrome, the first time in 1992 in patients without structural heart disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death was defined as a new clinical and electrocardiographic syndrome. Components of this syndrome are as follows: right bundle branch block, precordial chest leads (V1-V3) ST segment elevation and sudden cardiac death. Our aim in this short review is to determine how should we correctly diagnose and approach to this syndrome in the light of recent information.
