Overview

Brugada syndorme was potentially first seen on EKG in survivors of cardiac arrest in 1989, but it was not until 1992 that the Brugada brothers recognized it as a distinct clinical entity which could cause sudden death by ventricular fibrillation.

Historical Perspective

The Brugada brothers were the first to describe the characteristic ECG findings and link them to sudden death.

Before that the characteristic ECG findings were often mistaken for a right ventricular myocardial infarction. In 1953 a publication by Oscher mentioned that despite being mistaken for right ventricular myocardial infarction, the ECG findings were not associated with myocardial ischemia.[1]

Although the ECG findings of Brugada syndrome were first reported[2] among survivors of cardiac arrest in 1989, it was only in 1992 that the Brugada brothers[3] recognized it as a distinct clinical entity, causing sudden death by causing ventricular fibrillation.
