- "Brugada syndrome" is defined as the presence of a Type-I Brugada electrocardiogram [coved ST-segment elevation ≥2 mm (0.2 mV) in V1, V2 or V3] either spontaneously (at rest, in the baseline state or during a febrile episode) or following a standard drug-challenge test (with flecainide, ajmaline, procainamide, or pilsicainide) and recorded either with standard electrode position or with the precordial electrodes placed on the second or third intercostal space. Negative T waves in the precordial leads are not required to define a Type I electrocardiogram.
