Deskripsi
There is no data for Brugada electrocardiographic pattern (BrEP) from India. In a cross-sectional study of men and women between the ages 20–79 years, electrocardiograms were analyzed following the 2002 consensus. The overall prevalence of BrEP was 1.06 % (95 % CI 0.76, 1.35). There were two cases type I (0.04 %; 95 % CI 0.01, 0.06) and forty-seven type II/III (1.01 %; 95 % CI 1.02, 1.35); the pattern was markedly higher in men. In this study, BrEP was slightly less prevalent compared to South Asia but more than in the west.
