Popis: Background Brugada syndrome (BrS) has been associated with sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy subjects, and drug‐induced BrS accounts for 55% to 70% of all patients with BrS. This study aims to develop a deep convolutional neural network and evaluate its performance in recognizing and predicting BrS diagnosis. Methods and Results Consecutive patients who underwent ajmaline testing for BrS following a standardized protocol were included. ECG tracings from baseline and during ajmaline were transformed using wavelet analysis and a deep convolutional neural network was separately trained to (1) recognize and (2) predict BrS type I pattern. The resultant networks are referred to as BrS‐Net. A total of 1188 patients were included, of which 361 (30.3%) patients developed BrS type I pattern during ajmaline infusion. When trained and evaluated on ECG tracings during ajmaline, BrS‐Net recognized a BrS type I pattern with an AUC‐ROC of 0.945 (0.921–0.969) and an AUC‐PR of 0.892 (0.815–0.939). When trained and evaluated on ECG tracings at baseline, BrS‐Net predicted a BrS type I pattern during ajmaline with an AUC‐ROC of 0.805 (0.845–0.736) and an AUC‐PR of 0.605 (0.460–0.664). Conclusions BrS‐Net, a deep convolutional neural network, can identify BrS type I pattern with high performance. BrS‐Net can predict from baseline ECG the development of a BrS type I pattern after ajmaline with good performance in an unselected population.
