Update on Brugada Syndrome 2019

2021

Brugada syndrome (BrS) was first described in 1992 as an aberrant pattern of ST segment elevation in right precordial leads with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with structurally normal heart. It represents 4% ∼ 12% of all SCD and 20% of SCD in patients with structurally normal heart. The extremely wide genetic heterogeneity of BrS and other inherited cardiac disorders makes this new area of genetic arrhytmology a fascinating one. This review shows the state of art in diagnosis, management, and treatment of BrS focusing all the aspects regarding genetics and Preimplant Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) of embryos, overlapping syndromes, risk stratification, familial screeni…
