Brugada Syndrome

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.

Have you ever watched an ICD at work in a real life situation?


Interesting video on YouTube of a Belgian soccer player, with an ICD, experiencing sudden cardiac death on the field.

This cardiologist blogs about it, and posts a follow up video featuring an interview with the 20-year-old footballer, who is just fine now.
