Antonio Brugada

Antonio Brugada is a Spanish cardiologist best known for identifying a distinctive pattern in heart ECGs that indicates a serious heart rhythm disorder called Brugada syndrome. This condition can cause abnormal heartbeats and increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, especially in young, healthy individuals. Brugada's work has improved diagnosis and awareness of this hidden danger. His research has contributed significantly to understanding how electrical signals in the heart can malfunction, ultimately guiding better management and treatment strategies to prevent tragic outcomes.
