Abstract

|
|
Brugada syndrome is clinical syndrome with unique patterns of electrocardiogram(ST elevation in right precordial leads and right bundle branch block) and a high incidence of sudden death of patients with structurally normal hearts. It is related to 4-12% of all sudden deaths and 20% of sudden death with structurally normal hearts. It is autosomal dominant transmitted familial disease with incidence of 5 to 66 per 10,000. Clinical presentation of Brugada syndrome shows male predominance(8 to 10 times more prevalent in male) and the appearance of arrhythmic event at an average of 40 years. We report a case of general anesthesia for an appendectomy of 45-year-old male patient showing type-I Brugada electrocardiogram.
