A spontaneous Type 1 electrocardiogram pattern in lead V2 is an independent predictor of ventricular fibrillation in Brugada syndrome

Aim Risk stratification for Brugada syndrome remains controversial. We investigated the relationships between episodes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and various clinical, electrocardiographic, electrophysiologic, and genetic parameters both retrospectively and prospectively. Methods and results F...
