Abstract
AbstractThe exercise stress testing may unmask the type 1 Brugada pattern on the surface electrocardiogram in a portion of patients with Brugada syndrome. The occurrence of the type 1 Brugada pattern during an exercise test in pediatric patients is not common. Consequently, the diagnostic yield of the exercise test in this population is still to be explored. We present a case of exercise‐induced type 1 Brugada pattern in a 12‐year‐old child with episodes of palpitations and discuss the available evidence on the role of the exercise stress test in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with Brugada syndrome.
