Tpeak-Tend interval and Tpeak-Tend/QT ratio in patients with Brugada syndrome.

Aims: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by a typical electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern in right precordial leads (V1-V3; so-called type 1 ECG) and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. Annual cardiac event rates vary from 0.5% in asymptomatic to 7.
