  Brugada Syndrome is a rare inherited cardiac arrhythmia syndrome that is characterized by a 'coved-shaped’ atypical right bundle branch pattern on a 12-lead ECG (Type-1 Brugada pattern ECG) and is associated with ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. […] Treatment of Brugada Syndrome involves a combination of preventive measures such as avoiding aggravating medications, reducing fever and sometimes when necessary, using a medical device called an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). […] For high-risk individuals and symptomatic Brugada Syndrome patients, treatment may involve an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD).

  Brugada syndrome is a genetic disorder of cardiac conduction that predisposes patients to spontaneous ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. […] Patients typically present with syncope or cardiac arrest and an abnormal electrocardiographic finding of ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads. The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome centers on identification of its electrocardiographic characteristics by critical care professionals who routinely evaluate electrocardiograms.

[…] Eligibility can be granted: in asymptomatic subjects with type 2 or 3 pattern in the absence of a family history of juvenile sudden death; in subjects with drug-induced type 1 without risk factors. […] Eligibility may be reasonable in asymptomatic subjects with a spontaneous type 1 pattern, with no family history of sudden death or other minor risk factors and who have a negative EPS. […] Eligibility should be denied: in subjects symptomatic of arrhythmic syncope with spontaneous or drug-induced type 1 pattern; in subjects with familial sudden death and with a spontaneous or drug-induced type 1 pattern.
