Diagnosis of Type-2 Brugada pattern remains challenging and it could be confused with other electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns presenting an r'-wave in leads V1-V2 like in healthy athletes. This could impact their ability to perform competitive sports. The aim of the study was to evaluate, as a proof of concept, the new ECG criteria to differentiate the Type-2 Brugada pattern from the ECG pattern of healthy athletes depicting an r'-wave in leads V1-V2.
