Abstract

Introduction: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a primary electrical disorder that has been a subject of study because of its association with cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Methods: This article presents a case of a 32-year-old man with no prior cardiovascular disease history who experienced syncope and exhibited electrocardiographic changes. Results: An ajmaline test was performed, which revealed the presence of type II and I Brugada patterns. A literature review was conducted, covering the definition, classification, pathophysiology, genetics, prognosis, and treatment of this condition. Conclusion: Identifying electrocardiographic patterns and taking a correct clinical history can guide a timely therapeutic approach.
