Core Tip

Core Tip: We describe a patient with a family history of Brugada syndrome. The electrocardiograms (ECGs) of the patient and his brother showed the typical type 1 and type 2 Brugada ECG pattern, and the patient had various ECG changes in the same lead during treatment and follow-up. This case illustrates the importance of recognizing the Brugada ECG pattern and differential diagnosis for young adults associated with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and prompt recognition can be lifesaving.
