ABSTRACT

Brugada syndrome is included among the channelopathies, first described in 1992. It is characterized by the presence of syncope, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in patients with a structurally healthy heart and an electrocardiographic pattern characterized by ST segment elevation from V1 to V3 leads and morphology of the right bundle branch block.
