摘要
Brugada syndrome is ion channelopathy defined by coved type ST-elevation in at least one right precordial ECG lead. Patients may suffer from ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, which may cause syncope or sudden cardiac death. The majority of patients are likely to remain asymptomatic throughout life. A correct ECG diagnosis remains challenging. The implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) is the only established therapy to protect against sudden cardiac death. Thus, individual risk stratification is of major clinical relevance in primary prevention. The present article gives an update on current risk stratification and novel therapeutic options apart from ICD therapy. © 2020, Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature.
