Failure of provision of antibiotic prophylaxis for 'at risk' cardiac patients: impetus for improvement required from cardiologists.

abstract：AIMS:Brugada syndrome is considered to be a distinctive subgroup of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. Identification of the circadian pattern of ventricular fibrillation would contribute to the elucidation of its underlying pathophysiology, but this pattern remains unknown in patients with Brugada syndrome.
