Please NOTE (10/21/2021): I have updated my content and ECG Videos on Brugada Phenocopy & Brugada Syndrome — in my ECG Blog #238 — [ Ссылка ] — Please CHECK THIS OUT — and feel free to correspond with me via my ECG Blog website (at that link). THANK YOU! — :)

======================
This 29-minute video reviews ECG recognition of Brugada patterns and the essentials of management for the non-cardiologist. There is focus on distinction from right bundle branch block and normal variant patterns, with suggestions on when to refer.

==================

ADDENDUM (10/24/2020): In the past, the diagnosis of Brugada Syndrome required not only the presence of a Brugada-1 ECG pattern — but also a history of sudden death, sustained VT, non-vasovagal syncope or a positive family history of sudden death at an early age. This definition was changed following an expert consensus panel in 2013 — so that at the present time, all that is needed to diagnose Brugada Syndrome is a spontaneous or induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern, without need for additional criteria.
