Brugada Syndrome is a serious medical condition that causes sudden cardiac death in apparently healthy individuals. Sudden death is caused by severe disturbances in the rhythm of the heart. In this blog, you'll learn more about Brugada Syndrome, including what should be done if someone you know might be at risk of having this syndrome. You will also learn how I came to know so much about a condition that most people, and some doctors, don't recognize.

Brugada Syndrome is the subject of at least two books, one published last year.
The Brugada Syndrome: From Bench To Bedside , by Charles Antzelevitch (editor), Pedro (Ph.D.) Brugada (editor), Joseph (M.D.) Brugada (editor) and Ramon (M.D.) Brugada (editor) is currently available to purchase at all the major outlets. It is a bit dry reading for the mainstream audience, but I think family physicians, internists, E.R. staff and pediatricians should own it to use as a reference resource in their office. And Brugada Syndrome patients and their families might find the book interesting on a personal level.
Not a huge seller, Amazon currently ranks it #1,479,777 in book sales.
