title: Idiopathic Brugada-type electrocardiographic pattern in an octogenarian.
abstract: The prognosis of idiopathic Brugada-type ECG pattern in asymptomatic people is unknown. We report a case of an 85-year-old man who had persistent Brugada-type ECG pattern without associated clinical symptoms. This illustrates that the persistent Brugada-type ECG can be present with normal longevity.
