The authors present a clinical case of a patient with a family history of sudden death, in whom a diagnosis of Brugada syndrome had been established, and who died suddenly. They also present a brief review of the main findings of this entity, particularly the diagnostic criteria and treatment of choice, since it is recognized that its prevalence will rise in the coming years.porBundle-Branch BlockDeath, Sudden, CardiacTachycardia, VentricularBloqueio Completo do RamoMorte Súbita CardíacaTaquicardia Ventricularjournal article
