Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited sodium, calcium, or potassium channelopathy associated with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden cardiac death.1-3 This syndrome is most prevalent in men and individuals of southeast Asian descent, with a mean age of onset of symptoms at 41 ± 15 years.2 The diagnosis is challenging because of the often asymptomatic presentation of affected individuals and the dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) manifestations that are frequently concealed.2 This case highlights the presentation, ECG findings, and management of a patient with BrS.
