What Is Brugada Syndrome?
4. Provocation Test
In order to correctly diagnose the condition, medical professionals might sometimes use what is known as a provocation test. Basically, this means that the patient will be given an injection to help provoke the heart into a change in rhythm.
With the injection administered, there is a greater chance of an ECG identifying what the problem is, leading doctors to a diagnosis. Even then, a provocation test will not always lead to a correct diagnosis and the patient might need to undergo this procedure before a diagnosis can be reached. Thankfully, the procedure should not be too uncomfortable for the patient.
