Population

188 consecutive individuals with Brugada syndrome (mean age 53 +/- 14 years, 178 males) enrolled in the Japan Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation Study (J-IVFS).

Outcome

Cardiac events (sudden death and/or VF) over a mean follow-up period of 37 +/- 16 monthshard clinical

Prolonged QRS duration in precordial leads (r-J interval in V2 >= 90 ms and QRS duration in V6 >= 90 ms) may be useful for distinguishing high- from low-risk patients with Brugada syndrome.
