Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by ST segment elevation in V1-V3 ECG leads. Mutations SCN5A gene encoding for the cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel are found in some BrS patients, but also in family members with isolated conduction disturbances. However, some patients show coved ST elevation in the inferior or lateral leads whose association with SCN5A and familial...
