20 Summary Kamakura T, Shimizu W et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2013; 62: " Infero-lateral ERS patients can be divided into 2 heterogeneous groups: Patients with pure infero-lateral ER Patients with infero-lateral ER + non-type 1 ER pattern in high costal ECG. " Non-type 1 ER pattern in high costal ECG seems to be a key predictor of poor outcome in patients with inferolateral ERS. Patients with non-type 1 ER pattern in high costal ECG may be another variant of Brugada syndrome National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center Nippon Medical School
