Abstract
Brugada syndrome is an aberrant ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It can progress into sudden cardiac death (SCD) among patients with structurally normal hearts. Most patients are asymptomatic at presentation, but those who develop symptoms can present with syncope due to other arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can prevent future complications in patients with a significant family history.
