Abstract: A retrospective analysis of 21 cases of Brugada syndrome treated between 1997 and 2004 was conducted to examine the clinical characteristics of these patients and the relations between fever and Brugada syndrome. Of the 21 patients including one female patient, 4 male patents with Brugada syndrome were confirmed to develop ventricular arrhythmias due to febrile disease, suggesting that fever, one of the common causes for triggering cardiac events in Brugada syndrome, should receive due attention in clinical practice.
