Brugada S
ECG abnormality in a structurally N heart, mutation in cardiac Na+Ch gene (Na channelopathy), high incidence of sudden death, males > females

Brugada S
Brugada S diagnostic criteria
coved STE (>2 sm square, >1 V1-3 lead) followed by inverted T, plus one of: doccumented VF, polymorphic VT, FH of sudden cardiac death <45 y.o., coved-type ECG in family members, syncope, nocturnal agonal respiration

diagnostic criteria for Brugada S
Brugada S management
risk stratification, diagnostic testing, ICD
