If an EP says you don't have it, then you most likley don't have it and just think you do because of all the stuff you are reading about it.

If you don't feel comfortable in waiting 3 months for a repeat, then take a copy of your EKG to another EP for a second opinion.

If it makes you feel any better, I received some copies of EKG's I had in 2003 that showed I had a ST elevation and I am still here.  :)

st. segment in v1 doesn't mean  I have brugada I won't read anything else

What kind of symptoms are you having?

From what I gather, elevated ST can be a normal variant.  That's why it's important that doctors read the actual strips from the EKG and not the machine's interpretation.

Has your doctor commented on your elevated ST?

Oh, so you had a doctor tell you he/she thought you had Brugada?  What did he tell you to do for follow-up?

I would ask for another EKG now rather than wait.
