Abstract

Cardiovascular mortality occupies a leading position in the structure of total mortality. Brugada syndrome is one of the syndromes associated with the risk of sudden non-coronary death at a young age. However, the prevalence of this syndrome and its clinical manifestations are underestimated due to low detectability. This article presents a clinical case of the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome with the installation of a cardioverter-defibrillator in the practice of a cardiologist and a brief literature review of this syndrome.
