We’ve added a Brugada syndrome information sheet to our genetic heart disease series.
Brugada syndrome is a rhythm disorder of the heart that can cause the bottom chambers of the heart (known as the ventricles) to beat abnormally fast, which can lead to a person to feeling dizzy, fainting and it can sometimes result in sudden death. Treatment is available once Brugada syndrome is diagnosed. However, a definite diagnosis can be difficult because not all people affected with Brugada syndrome display symptoms or classic electrocardiogram (ECG) findings.
