What tests are used to diagnose Brugada Syndrome?

Brugada Syndrome Treatment

Treatment options are few. At present if a person has a definitive diagnosis and symptoms, an ICD is recommended. An ICD is not the answer for every patient. Some research suggests that quinidine may help some patients. Patients should also avoid drugs which block the sodium channels in the heart.
