A Case of Brugada Pattern Migrant from Right Precordial Leads to Peripheral Leads

Abstract

Since the first report in 1992, Brugada pattern (BP) diagnosis is mainly based on analysis of the precordial leads. In cases with no clear BP evidence in the conventional right precordial leads (4th intercostal space), limb leads analysis resulted helpful in suspecting BP. Fluctuations within right precordial leads between the diagnostic ECG pattern and nondiagnostic ECGs are well known. For the first time, in the patient herewith reported, the transformation of BP phenotype involves both precordial and peripheral leads, confirming that the analysis of all the 12 leads has a key role in BP diagnosis.

Keywords: 12-lead 24-hour Holter; Brugada pattern; ST segment depression; ST segment elevation; inferior leads.
