A member asked:
Is it possible to have brugada syndrome with no family history of sudden death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: It is a very rare disease. Theoretically you could be the first one in the family to have a mutation or a defect and have the disease. However if you don‘t have any risk factors besides being a male, and you don‘t have any symptoms, and your heart sounds fine to your doctor, I wouldn‘t worry about it.
