Brugada Syndrome: Recognition, Diagnosis, and Clinical Management

What you'll learn

Course overview

Brugada Syndrome is a rare, inherited cardiac channelopathy that predisposes individuals to life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, often in otherwise healthy individuals. It is caused by mutations affecting sodium channels (SCN5A gene) leading to characteristic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and arrhythmogenic risk. Early recognition, proper diagnosis, risk stratification, and management are essential for preventing sudden cardiac death. This course provides healthcare professionals with an in-depth review of Brugada Syndrome, including epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic testing, pharmacologic interventions, and emergency management.
