MENDES, Joseane Elza Tonussi; NIKUS, Kjell; BARBOSA-BARROS, Raimundo e PEREZ-RIERA, Andrés Ricardo. The numerous denominations of the Brugada syndrome and proposal about how to put an end to an old controversy - a historical-critical perspective . J. Hum. Growth Dev. [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.3, pp.480-491. ISSN 0104-1282. https://doi.org/10.7322/jhgd.v30.11118.
BACKGROUNG: The eponymous Brugada Syndrome (BrS) in honor of its discovery as an independent entity by the Spanish/Catalan Brugada brothers, Pedro and Josep, has deserved numerous denominations derived mainly from the clinical genotype/phenotype correlation. The purpose of this manuscript is to present and analyze the nomenclatures that this intriguing and challenging syndrome has received over the past 28 years. We also compared the main features between cases from the first report of the Brugada brothers and an article by Martini et al. The nomenclatures used by these authors are closely linked to the BrS, but the cases (except one) presented in the article by Martini et al do not present the type 1 Brugada ECG pattern, which is mandatory for the diagnosis of BrS
