Abstract :
The prevalence of Brugadaʹs electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern in 7,022 male adolescents in the seventh grade was determined, and the same subjects were reexamined 3 years later, while in tenth grade. Two subjects (0.03%) and 7 subjects (0.10%) showed Brugadaʹs ECG pattern by the conventional criterion (J point or ST-segment ≥0.1 mV in leads V1 to V3), and no subjects (0%) and 2 subjects (0.03%) fulfilled the recent criterion (J point or ST-segment ≥0.2 mV) in the seventh and tenth grades, respectively, indicating that Brugadaʹs ECG pattern begins to appear during junior high school and increases until late adulthood.
