Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: We have tested whether a genotype-phenotype relationship exists in Brugada syndrome (BS) by trying to distinguish BS patients with (carriers) and those without (non-carriers) a mutation in the gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel (SCN5A) using clinical parameters. BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by a varying degree of ST-segment elevation in the right...
