Complications
Complications of Brugada syndrome require emergency medical care. They include:
- Sudden cardiac arrest. If not treated immediately, this sudden loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness, which often occurs while sleeping, is fatal. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible.
- Fainting. If you have Brugada syndrome and you faint, get emergency medical attention.
