Influence of novel electrocardiographic features of provocable Brugada ECG in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and its exclusion by lead aVR

In 19 patients (14 females, mean age 49.1  11.3 years) with typical arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and provocable Brugada-like ECG by ajmaline administration were analysed by novel electrocardiographic features as having �true� or �false� Brugada syndrome. Three patients turned out as having false Brugada syndrome, the diagnosis is pure arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In 16 patients, however, true Brugada syndrome could be provoked. In these patients the diagnosis was arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy associated by provocable Brugada syndrome.
