title: A portuguese family with Brugada syndrome.
abstract: The authors present a family with Brugada syndrome, the largest ever described in Portugal. From a fortuitous electrocardiographic finding in a previously symptomatic young man with a family history of sudden death, 126 possibly affected family members were studied. This article describes the diagnostic approach, risk stratification for sudden death and therapeutic interventions offered to this family, and presents a brief review of Brugada syndrome.
