What is Brugada Syndrome?

[SamAdmin]

Brugada Syndrome is a rare inherited heart rhythm disorder, in which the heart is structurally normal. The risks posed is experiencing a rapid heart rhythm due to the ion channels (pores in the cellular membrane that allow the passage of ions across the impermeant lipid cell membrane) of the heart.

Signs and symptoms of Brugada can be irregular or rapid/erratic heart rhythm, that can lead to a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) if left undetected or treated.

thanks for the update, I have had a ICD since 2014 and until recently have had little or no problem , but as the ICD battery nears the end of it's life, been having episodes of Afib and flutter. Did ask Harefield if I was due a replacement, but no was the stern response lol. Hopefully, within next 6 mths I will get the call for replacement
