Overview
Screening for Brugada syndrome is recommended. Relatives of patients with Brugada syndrome can be screened for the syndrome by obtaining an EKG, although the diagnostic pattern may be concealed. Genetic testing can also be used to support the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and to detect relatives at risk.
Screening
- Screening for Brugada syndrome is recommended. Relatives of patients with Brugada syndrome can be screened for the syndrome by obtaining an EKG, although the diagnostic pattern may be concealed. Genetic testing can also be used to support the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and to detect relatives at risk.[1][2]
- Unfortunately, despite the association of the Brugada syndrome with the SCN5A genotype, there is unfortunately no association between the results of genetic testing and clinical prognosis.
