Preferred Label : Brugada Syndrome Ventricular Arrhythmia by ECG Finding;
NCIt synonyms : Brugada Syndrome Ventricular Arrhythmia; Brugada Syndrome Ventricular Arrhythmia by EKG Finding;
NCIt related terms : Ventricular arrhythmia associated with Brugada syndrome; BRUGADA SYNDROME;
NCIt definition : An electrocardiographic finding of a pattern of right bundle branch block and ST-segment
elevation within electrocardiogram leads V1-V3. This pattern emerges as a result of
a defect in ion channel genes, resulting in atypical electrophysiological activity
in the right ventricle and a propensity for malignant tachyarrhythmias.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in the absence of structural heart disease,
associated with a baseline ECG pattern during sinus rhythm showing right bundle branch
block with ST segment elevation in leads V1 through V3. It can also be characterized
by documentation of ECG patterns associated with Brugada Syndrome, some of which may
be unmasked when provoked with drugs. The most common genetic mutations identified
for Brugada syndrome are in the sodium channel gene SCN5A.;
