Telemedicine for detecting Brugada Syndrome in eastern Indonesia: A multi-center prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of Brugada syndrome has been reported to occur mostly in Asian countries. However, key countries such as Indonesia, the largest-populated Southeast Asian country, have yet to report any existing data regarding the incidence of Brugada syndrome among its population. Detecting these patients has been challenging, especially in primary healthcare settings, which generally have limited resources. Telemedicine may represent an ideal solution for initial diagnosis to determine if a patient may have this condition.

Methods

We collected and analyzed numerous 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) of patients who visited various healthcare centers in Makassar for routine medical check-up between June 2017-April 2018. Electrocardiograms from these centers were sent
