A better question is: Have you been diagnosed by cardiology with Brugada syndrome and do you have an implanted cardioverter/defibrillator? If you don't have an ICD, why not? What is the approach to management? These are questions for your cardiologist. The guidelines for treatment are straightforward and specific to the case. So you need to find out what is appropriate in yours. Give your cardiologist a call to clarify

When appropriate measures are taken anesthesia with propofol can most often be performed safely in Brugada syndrome patients.
