Molecular Insight: Brugada Syndrome

ByAtif BaigShabbir Ahmad

Brugada’s syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac disease with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. The syndrome is characterized by syncopal episodes and/or sudden death in patients with a structurally normal heart and characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1–V3) of the electrocardiogram (ECG). There is propensity for sudden death due to rapid polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF). This mini booklet will be useful for undergraduate students to understand the Brugada syndrome and underlaying molecular cause.
