Abstract

Introduction: The clinical course and prognosis of Brugada syndrome (BS) in elderly is unknown. It is obvious that the therapeutic management of BS in the elderly might be challenging.

Methods: A total of 437 patients with a diagnosis of BS were included in this study. Patients were categorized in 2 groups according to the age at the time of diagnosis:
