  • Brugada Risk Score: Explanation and Clinical Context
    The Brugada Risk Score, developed by Brugada et al. in 2010, is a clinical tool designed to stratify the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with Brugada Syndrome.
    It incorporates key predictors: spontaneous Type 1 ECG pattern, history of syncope, family history of SCD, fragmented QRS, and early repolarization in inferolateral leads. Each variable is assigned a weight based on its prognostic value.
    The total score helps clinicians identify high-risk patients who may benefit from implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy and guides management decisions.
