Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Distinguish Brugada type 1 (coved pattern, diagnostic) from type 2 (saddle-back) ECG pattern and determine when sodium channel blocker challenge is indicated

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Type 2 ECG pattern — The type 2 ecg pattern recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Determine when sodium channel blocker challenge is indicated — The determine when sodium channel blocker challenge is indicated recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the brugada type 1 vs 2 result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the type 2 ECG pattern, determine when sodium channel blocker challenge is indicated for the scenario you are assessing. Distinguish Brugada type 1 (coved pattern, diagnostic) from type 2 (saddle-back) ECG pattern and determine when sodium channel blocker challenge is indicated. Use the brugada type 1 vs 2 result to inform your calculation.
