RESUMO
Brugada Syndrome is a condition with an undetermined aetiology and a tendency for malignant arrhythmias, an electrocardiographic pattern of a right bundle branch block with persistent ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1-V3) and no association with structural heart disease. We aimed to discuss the anaesthetic management of an asymptomatic 35-year-old patient with Brugada syndrome who had been diagnosed during the pre-anaesthetic assessment because of the family history of the early sudden cardiac death of his mother. As a result, we believe that detailed patient history and careful examination of laboratory tests and electrocardiography are crucial for early diagnosis of some diseases and for successful anaesthetic management.
