What Is Brugada Syndrome?
2. Ion Imbalances
The reason that the hearts electrical signals are confused in this way is because of the imbalance of ions in the heart. These ions are sodium and potassium, and these help to ensure that electrical messages can be passed from cell to cell in the body.
Without them, it will be harder for the messages to travel from cell to cell and this can lead to a variety of problems. In cases of Brugada syndrome, the ions are imbalanced because the flow of these ions into the hearts cells are disrupted. Other conditions that involve ion imbalances can result in similar symptoms.
