What Is Brugada Syndrome?
9. Cardiac Arrest
A cardiac arrest is when the body experiences a sudden loss of blood flow due to the heart not being able to pump the blood as effectively as it should. It is a very serious condition and potentially fatal so it should be treated as an immediate medical emergency.
Brugada syndrome can lead to cardiac arrest so it should never be taken too lightly. In some instances, a cardiac arrest might even be the first time the patient is aware that something is not right. Symptoms of a cardiac arrest include chest pain, difficulty breathing, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, fatigue, and loss of consciousness.
