#+CAPTION: Brugadometer showing triangle base 5 mm below apex of caliper
[[./img/brugadometer2.png]]

The *Brugadometer* is a diagnostic tool for Brugada syndrome developed in collaboration with Dr. Adrian Baranchuk and his colleagues at Queen's University Kingston, Ontario, Canada. It is a tool intended to distinguish between ECGs with a Brugada syndrome pattern in leads V1 or V2 and ECGs with incomplete right bundle branch block. This tool is under development in *EP Calipers* and will likely evolve in future updates. In order to use the *Brugadometer*, it is necessary to calibrate an amplitude caliper in millimeters (mm) and to calibrate a time caliper preferably in msec or mm. After doing so, an angle caliper will appear to have a triangle at its apex. The triangle base will be located 5 mm below the apex of the triangle. Proper alignment of this triangle with an r' wave in a person with a suspected Brugada ECG will provide measurement of the so-called /beta angle/ and the triangle base. A triangle base > 160 msec (4 mm at standard ECG recording speed of 25 mm/sec) has an increased probability of being a Brugada ECG. Please see [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4040869/][de Luna AB, Garcia-Niebla J, Baranchuk A. New electrocardiographic features in Brugada syndrome. Curr Cardiol Rev. 2014 Aug; 10(3): 175-180]] for further information.
