Presence of intermittent J waves in multiple leads in relation to episode of atrial and ventricular fibrillation.
Brugada syndrome is characterized by J wave and ST-segment elevation of right precordial leads and causes idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. We experienced a patient of Brugada syndrome with prominent J wave and ST-segment elevation not only in V(1) to V(3) but also in many leads. He suffered spontaneous ventricular fibrillation and resuscitated by direct current. He has no structural heart disease.
