Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We sought to demonstrate the electrophysiologic (EP) mechanism of the ST-T change in Brugada syndrome. BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is characterized by various electrocardiographic manifestations (e.g., right bundle branch block, ST-segment elevation, and terminal T-wave inversion in the right precordial leads) and sudden cardiac death caused by ventricular fibrillation. Direct evidence in support of...
