The concept that both ECG patterns are visually identical has not been formally demonstrated. The aim of our study was to determine if experts on BrS were able to accurately distinguish between the BrS and BrP ECG patterns. METH...
متن کاملPrevalence of the Brugada-type electrocardiogram and incidence of Brugada syndrome in patients with sick sinus syndrome.
