Le syndrome de Brugada

[en] The Brugada syndrome, a genetically transmitted disease according to an autosomal mode with a variable penetrance, is responsible for sudden death secondary to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. The diagnosis is based on a typical electrocardiographical paturn that combines a right bundle branch block with ST elevation in the right precordial leads. In high risk patients, the automatic implantable defibrillator has the unique capability to protect against the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.
