Abstract：Brugada syndrome(BrS) was first discovered by the Brugada brothers. Professor Yan Ganxin and Professor Antzelevitch first named it as “Brugada syndrome”. BrS mainly involves male youths. The prevalence of the syndrome in males is 9 times higher than in females. The ECG of BrS is manifested by complete or incomplete right bundle branch block complicated by STsegment elevation in lead V1-V3. The mutation of SCN5A coding cardiac sodium ion channel can be found in 20%-30% of BrS patients. About 50% of BrS patients develop ventricular tachycardia(fibrillation) without any warning. This paper reviews the discovery and nomenclature of BrS.
