The surface electrocardiogram is the key examination in Brugada syndrome. It is currently the only means to allow diagnosis and it could help stratification of the ventricular fibrillation risk.

These markers also contributed to the improvement of knowledge of the physiopathology of this syndrome. However, studies are still needed to determine their use in daily practice.
