Brugada syndrome is increasingly recognized as a disease entity associated with sudden cardiac death in generally relatively young individuals without structural heart disease. Right precordial ST-segment elevation is considered the hallmark of the Brugada ECG, but discrete prolongation of various conduction parameters is also frequently encountered. It is well known that the ECG is variable from day to day and varies between the three defined ECG types (types 1, 2, and 3).1,2 Type 1, i.e. the coved-type ST-segment, is mandatory for the diagnosis. Type 2 is referred to as
