Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited disease characterized by right precordial ST segment elevation on electrocardiograms (ECGs) that predisposes patients to sudden cardiac death as a result of polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia or ventricular fibrillation (VF). In BrS patients, except for SCN5A, mutations in other responsible genes are poorly elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS: We identified 4...
