摘　　要：Brugada syndrome(BrS)is one of inherited arrhythmia syndromes characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and is associated with increased risk of ventricular fibrillation(VF)and sudden cardiac death(SCD)in the absence of a structural heart disease.Fever is a known trigger for Brugada ECG pattern(BrP).[1]Relevant studies showed that BrS patients with a fever induced type 1(F-type 1)BrP have a worse prognosis due to the higher risk of future arrhythmic events.[2]However,the prognosis of asymptomatic subjects with F-type 1 BrP remains to be elucidated,especially in the elderly.Recent studies have found that in elderly patients,F-type 1 BrP led to VF or even syncope.[3,4,5]Thus,more clinical attention should be given rise on cases of elderly asymptomatic patients with F-type 1 BrP.
