Question 2

do all people with brugada syndrome get an icd?

Accepted Answer

Eventually: The decision to get an ICD is an individual one, &amp; in some countries, it depends on your means (i.e., whether you can afford it). However, the incidence of sudden cardiac death in untreated Brugada Syndrome is so high that, generally, an ICD defibrillator, is warranted.

Question 3

can brugada syndrome cause monomorphic vt or only polymorphic?

Accepted Answer

Usually: polymorphic VT that leads to ventricular fibrillation. It can also cause atrial fibrillation that is usually not fatal but has side effects. You can see changes on an EKG and be genetically screened. All the best.

Question 4

do you see many patients with brugada syndrome get approved for disability?

Accepted Answer

Disabling Dysrythmia: Brugada syndrome is usually not disabling by itself. Although the fainting can keep one from their occupation, having the implantable defibrillator can really make a difference in the ability to sustain meaningful employment. It is may be grouped with some other disabling diagnosis that would allow some impairment rating. Check with your cardiologist.

Accepted Answer

With great care: Brugada syndrome, as you know, is a genetic disorder in which the electrical activity within the heart is abnormal.  Both types involve genes affecting proper cardiac muscle contraction. Once the disorder is recognized, proper cardiac care and monitoring usually allows necessary procedures requiring anesthesia to be carried out safely. Proceed in collaboration with your treating Cardiologist.
