Possibly: Brugada syndrome refers to a very specific finding on ECG -- saddle/humpback ST changes in V!-V2, and maybe V3.  It is associated with arrhythmias, specifically ventricular tachycardia/fib and hence can degenerate into ineffective cardiac output...loss of consciousness, and I suppose "blue lips" as a sign of hypoxemia.
