Brugada syndrome: is something you can follow regularly with a cardiologist likely for the rest of your life. I assure you this is necessary as Brugada is known to be lethal. However, if you have high blood pressure you probably need to take a medicine that will both protect your heart and control your rhythm. Negative cath, cardiac MRI and stress tests sound reassuring however. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap
