Procainamide challenge for diagnoses of brugada syndrome. what are possible side effects? i've head that procainamide can lead to death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally: few to no side effects...and YOU WILL BE MONITORED BY A CARDIOLOGIST during the ENTIRE test... thus fatal events are VERY VERY RARE! (Chance close to ZERO) ALSO it is NECESSARY to HAVE this syndrome DISCOVERED IN ADVANCE!! Good luck and BE WELL!
