The typical Brugada patient is young, otherwise healthy male with normal general medical and cardiovascular physical findings. A present a case of successful resuscitation following “Brugada heart” arrest, where diagnosis of type 2 Brugada syndrome was made after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
