The prevalence of Brugada ECG in adult patients in a large university hospital in the western United States.

The prevalence of Brugada ECG in the United States is controversial and has not been studied in the western United States. The goal of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of Brugada syndrome appearing on ECGs in a large university hospital located in California. A total of 1348 ECGs performed at a university hospital in southern California in 1995 were randomly selected and reviewed for fulfilling 1 of the 3 types of Brugada criteria.
