Brugada Syndrome and Prostate Cancer

This attention-getting title is partially explained in an abstract on a blog that posts about arrhythmias. Males with Brugada Syndrome are at higher risk for prostate cancer, even when other elements are factored in (age, smoking, etc).

As always, use caution when reading any online information about anything. In this particular abstract, I do see at least one familiar name, Dr. Charles Antzelevitch, who is Director of Research at the Masonic Medical Research Laboratory. So I would predict that this is probably a solid study.

If you are concerned, contact the authors or researchers that are listed following the article.
