Guidelines for management of Brugada syndrome

Management of Brugada syndrome involves monitoring and reducing the risk of sudden cardiac events. Key steps include diagnosing with specialized tests, avoiding certain medications that can trigger arrhythmias, and evaluating the need for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden death. Lifestyle modifications include avoiding excessive alcohol, overheating, and extreme exercise if risk factors are present. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist experienced in arrhythmias is essential. Treatment focuses on preventing dangerous heart rhythms while managing symptoms, ensuring safety, and improving quality of life through careful assessment and personalized care.
