Overview
Although the ECG findings of Brugada syndrome were first reported[1] among survivors of cardiac arrest in 1989, it was only in 1992 that the Brugada brothers[2] recognized it as a distinct clinical entity, causing sudden death by causing ventricular fibrillation (a lethal arrhythmia) in the heart.
