Clinical characterisation and long-term prognosis of women with Brugada syndrome

Abstract

BS is common in women, representing 42% of patients in our database. Clinical presentation is less severe than men, with more asymptomatic status and less spontaneous type I ECG and prognosis is more favourable, with an event rate of 0.7% year. However, women with SCD or previous SND are at higher risk of arrhythmic events.
