NO reason to worry:: Brugada syndrome(BS) is rare. It is 9 times more frequent in males and very much more common in Asians. There is a distinction between BS and a Brugada EKG Pattern(BEKG). The BS patient has had a history of cardiac arrest or syncope or other high risk factors. BEKG type 1 pattern is higher risk. Type 1 EKG is present in approximately 12 out of 1000 people in Japan.

No worries: If your ECG has been normal, relax. The Brugada changes don't wax and wane.

Brugada: With the information you provide, the chances of you having Brugada syndrome are very remote. Unless you have a specific reason to think you are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest, you should perhaps find something else to worry about.
