There are three electrocardiographic patterns associated with Brugada syndrome: Type I, Type II and Type III. The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is based upon the presence of Type I EKG changes.  Patients with Type II or Type III Brugada patterns can convert to a Type I Brugada pattern following the administration of sodium channel blockers such as [[ajmaline]] and [[flecainide]].  To be classified as having Brugada ''syndrome'' (not just the ''pattern''), one or more of the following criteria must also be met:

Overview

There are three electrocardiographic patterns associated with Brugada syndrome: Type I, Type II and Type III. The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is based upon the presence of Type I EKG changes. Patients with Type II or Type III Brugada patterns can convert to a Type I Brugada pattern following the administration of sodium channel blockers such as ajmaline and flecainide. To be classified as having Brugada syndrome (not just the pattern), one or more of the following criteria must also be met:

The patient is also diagnosed as having Brugada syndrome when a Type 2 (saddleback pattern) or Type 3 ST-segment elevation is observed in more than one right precordial lead under baseline conditions that can be converted to the diagnostic Type 1 Brugada pattern following administration of a sodium channel blocker and the clinical criteria listed above are met as well.

Classification

  • The three patterns of Brugada syndrome (Type I,II,III) are shown below:

The table below is from ECG pedia and is adapted from Wilde et al.[5]

ST segment abnormalities in the different types of Brugada syndrome
Type I Type II Type III
J wave amplitude >= 2mm >= 2mm >= 2mm
T wave Negative Positive or biphasis Positive
ST-T configuration Coved type Saddleback Saddleback
ST segment (terminal portion) Gradually descending Elevated >= 1mm Elevated < 1mm
