There have been studies published regarding the association between developing Brugada syndrome after an acute COVID-19 infection. In this case, we present a patient who presented with a syncopal episode and subsequently found to have Type I Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram. The patient underwent placement of a single chamber defibrillator. Genetic analysis demonstrated SCN5A variant which is associated with cardiac conditions including Brugada syndrome.

Structural abnormalities within the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) can present similarly to Brugada syndrome. A 34-year-old woman with no medical history presented with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest and initial electrocardiogram showed type I Brugada pattern. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed prominent tissue thickening at the RVOT with late gadolinium enhancement.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic heart disease that predisposes individuals to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and quinidine are primary treatments, recurrent BrS-triggered ventricular arrhythmias can persist. In this setting, epicardial substrate ablation has emerged as a promising alternative for symptomatic patients.

Introduction: Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome characterised by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial ECG leads and is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. We identify and characterise a novel SCN3B variant encoding the regulatory β3-subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Na1.5.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy characterized by right precordial ST-segment elevation. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with BrS in Hong Kong.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at the only tertiary pediatric cardiology center in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2022, including all pediatric BrS patients under 18 years old.
