The utility of late potentials on signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) for risk stratification in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains controversial. Late potentials on conventional SAECG with Frank leads may be insufficiently sensitive to detect site-specific late potentials in right precordial leads.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of site-specific late potentials using a novel unipolar Holter-SAECG system for risk stratification in patients with BrS.Consecutive symptomatic (n = 20) and asymptomatic (n = 21) patients with BrS who underwent investigation using conventional SAECG and a novel unipolar Holter-SAECG system were enrolled. We evaluated clinical characteristics and outcomes and compared late potentials on the 2 SAECGs between both groups and patients with and without cardiac events (CEs) (sudden cardiac death or sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias) during the follow-up period.During mean follow-up of 76 months, 10 patients (24%) had CEs. There were no significant differences in late potentials on conventional SAECG between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
