Do all people with brugada syndrome get an icd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eventually: The decision to get an ICD is an individual one, & 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.
