Brugada syndrome is an inherited arrhythmia associated with characteristic ST elevation in the right precordial leads and sudden cardiac death. The average age of sudden cardiac death is 40 years; reported pediatric cases remain rare. Genetic testing and increased disease awareness may result in many more children being diagnosed with Brugada syndrome.
