Syncope, typically occurring at rest or during sleep, is a common presentation of BrS. In some cases, tachycardia does not terminate spontaneously and it leads to sudden death. Most frequently, BrS occurs in a normal heart. [orpha.net]

Following treatment of the arrhythmia, additional diagnostic workup is often needed to determine the precipitant (e.g., electrolyte abnormalities or cardiac ischemia) and identify any underlying structural heart disease. [clinicaladvisor.com]

• T Wave Inversion

  Notice that there is T-wave inversion in V2 (but not Brugada pattern!). High lead placement is one of the causes of "abnormal" T-wave inversion in V2 and beyond. [hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.com]

  ECGs obtained at the CCU showed prominent J waves in the right precordial V2 lead (Figure 1, upper panel). The J waves were not followed by ST-segment elevation or T-wave inversion, and thus were distinct from the typical ECG changes in BS. [e-arrhythmia.org]
