Abstract

Arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome patients originate in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Over the past few decades, the characterization of the unique anatomy and electrophysiology of the RVOT has revealed the arrhythmogenic nature of this region. However, the mechanisms that drive arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome patients remain debated as well as the exact site of their occurrence in the RVOT. Identifying the site of origin and mechanism of Brugada syndrome would greatly benefit the development of mechanism-driven treatment strategies.
