Specificity of Elevated Intercostal Space ECG Recording for the Type 1 Brugada ECG Pattern

Abstract

Elevated electrode placement ECG in the diagnosis of BrS seems to have a very high specificity with regards to the finding of a type 1 ECG pattern in a European population; conversely a finding of a type 2 or 3 pattern is of a significantly lower specificity and should perhaps be disregarded.
