Brugada Syndrome: Quick Guide ECG Patterns (V1–V2, 2nd/3rd ICS) 📉 🔹 Type 1 (Diagnostic): ≥2 mm coved ST elevation, downsloping ST segment, inverted T-wave. 🔹 Type 2: ≥2 mm saddleback ST elevation, upright/biphasic T-wave. 🔹 Dynamic changes: Fever/ajmaline can unmask Type 1. 🔹 Pseudo-RBBB (no true conduction delay). --- Diagnosis: Shanghai Score 2020 📋 ✅ Score ≥3.5 confirms BrS: - 3.5: Spontaneous/drug-induced Type 1 ECG. - 2: Family SCD

Brugada Syndrome: ECG Characteristics (V1–V2, 2nd/3rd ICS) 📉 Type 1 (Diagnostic): ≥2 mm coved ST elevation, downsloping ST segment, inverted T-wave. Type 2: ≥2 mm saddleback ST elevation, upright or biphasic T-wave. Dynamic Changes: Fever or sodium channel blockers (e.g., ajmaline) may unmask Type 1. Note: Pseudo-RBBB pattern without true conduction delay. Diagnosis: Shanghai Score 2020 📋 ≥3.5 points confirms Brugada Syndrome (BrS): 3.5: Spontaneous or drug-induced Type 1 ECG. 2: Family histor

Brugada Syndrome: A Silent Threat to the Heart. What is Brugada Syndrome? A potentially fatal genetic disorder affecting the heart's electrical system, leading to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death--especially during sleep. It is caused by mutations in the SCN5A gene, affecting sodium channel function and cardiac conduction. Brugada Pattern vs. Brugada Syndrome G Brugada Pattern: ⁃ An incidental ECG finding without symptoms, ⁃ Can be triggered by fever, medications, or electrolyte imbalan

🎯📉High-Risk ECG Markers in Brugada Syndrome (BrS) This visual guide summarizes key electrocardiographic signs beyond the diagnostic Type 1 Brugada pattern that are associated with increased risk for sudden cardiac death. · The definitive Type 1 (coved) ST-segment elevation in V1-V2. · Electrical instability markers: Atrial fibrillation, AV block, QRS fragmentation, and T-wave alternans. · Specific repolarization abnormalities: including the Tzou criteria and R-wave in aVR. Identification of th

Brugada Syndrome: Quick Guide Diagnosis: Shanghai Score 2020 (Type 1 ECG Clinical Criteria) 📋 ECG Patterns: · Type 1 (Diagnostic): Coved ST-segment elevation (≥2mm) with T-wave inversion in V1-V3. · Type 2/3 (Non-Diagnostic): Saddleback ST-T configuration. A sodium channel blocker challenge may unmask a diagnostic Type 1 pattern. --- #BrugadaSyndrome #Cardiology #ECG #SuddenCardiacDeath #Arrhythmia #HeartHealth | Abdallah Othman
