What Is Brugada Syndrome?
3. ECG
An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a device that is used to help monitor the rhythm of the heart and electrical impulses in the heart. To use it, a professional will attach electrodes to your body and these will help detect activity in the heart and give a reading.
An ECG’s ability to detect both rhythm and electrical impulses make them suitable for detecting Brugada syndrome, as well as some other conditions. The symptoms of Brugada syndrome can come and go, however, which means that an ECG will sometimes not be effective at detecting the condition. This can mean that several sittings are required.
