We report on a youngster followed by his paediatrician from birth until 14 years of age for premature beats, most likely of ventricular origin. The sudden death of his sister provoked a re-assessment of his electrocardiograms (ECG), resulting in the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and the subsequent implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator. This syndrome is a well known entity in adult cardiology, first described by Brugada and Brugada in 1992. It is considered to be the second most common cause of death in young adults after road traffic accidents. In children, however, the Brugada syndrome is not well known and we believe to be certainly underdiagnosed.
我们报告一名自出生起至14岁一直由儿科医生随访的青少年，其患有早搏，最可能起源于心室。他妹妹的突然死亡促使对其心电图进行重新评估，结果诊断为布加综合征，并随后植入了心脏复律除颤器。该综合征在成人心脏病学中是一个广为人知的病症，于1992年由布加兄弟首次描述。它被认为是继道路交通事故之后年轻人中第二常见的死亡原因。然而，在儿童中，布加综合征并不为人熟知，我们认为其肯定存在诊断不足的情况。
