Utility of right precordial leads at higher intercostal space positions to diagnose Brugada syndrome.
We encountered a patient with Brugada syndrome whose body surface ECG revealed that the specific ST-segment elevation was found only at higher positions of leads V1 and V2, above the third intercostal space. Only these right precordial leads at higher intercostal space positions were useful to identify Brugada syndrome in this case.
