May enhance Brugada ECG detection in males; leaves open effects on diagnosis and risk stratification.
Does recording the ECG in the 3rd intercostal space increase the detection of Brugada-type ECGs compared to the 4th intercostal space?
Recording ECGs in the 3rd intercostal space significantly increases the detection rate of Brugada-type ECG patterns, aiding in the identification of high-risk patients.
