Brugada syndrome is a genetically determined familial disease with autosomal 
dominant transmission and variable penetrance, conferring a predisposition to 
sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. The syndrome is 
characterized by a typical electrocardiographic pattern in the right precordial 
leads. This article will focus on the new electrocardiographic features recently 
agreed on by expert consensus helping to identify this infequent 
electrocardiographic pattern.
