Low prevalence with no sudden deaths suggests benign prognosis in general adults; leaves open risk stratification in symptomatic or selected cohorts.
Pecini et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Brugada-type electrocardiogram (n=18,974). Brugada-type ECG pattern vs. No Brugada-type ECG pattern was evaluated on Sudden death during follow-up. The prevalence of a Brugada-type ECG pattern in the Danish general population was 7 per 10,000, with no sudden deaths occurring among these subjects during 6 to 33 years of follow-up.
