ABSTRACT
Uno de los integrantes de una familia de 5 miembros, de procedencia urbana, acudió a consulta una semana antes de su ingreso en el Servicio de Cardiología por presentar cuadros de sudoración, decaimiento y ocasionalmente palpitaciones. En el centro hospitalario se le diagnosticó un síndrome de Brugada a través del electrocardiograma, confirmado después mediante el estudio electrofisiológico; hallazgo que también se corroboró en un pariente cercano. Se colocaron 2 marcapasos desfibriladores automáticos a sendos hermanos y otros 2 familiares fueron dados de alta de la institución.
