Overview
There is ongoing controversy as to whether there are structural abnormalities among patients with regard Brugada syndrome. There was one small study of 11 patients with Brugada syndrome that demonstrated a rapid swinging motion shifting towards the right ventricle of the basal segment of the intraventricular septum and early systole in 73% (8/11) patients with Brugada syndrome. None of the control patients demonstrated this abnormality.[1]
