The Brugada Syndrome: a Follow-up Study

Imaging and Risk Stratification in the Brugada Syndrome: a Follow-up Study

Although for many years the Brugada syndrome has been labelled as a purely electrical disease in the structurally normal heart, the evolution of imaging techniques has enabled the discovery of subtle morphofunctional alterations in some of the Brugada syndrome patients. We will use new echocardiographic techniques to assess cardiac function in these patients and new parameters will be evaluated for their prognostic value as risk stratificators.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 18 years or older
• Diagnosis of Brugada syndrome

Exclusion Criteria:

• history of pericarditis, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy of any origin, structural heart disease, or any other channelopathy
