What Is Brugada Syndrome?
5. Testing Genes
Brugada syndrome is a condition that is sometimes inherited. Thus, medical professionals will sometimes want to perform gene testing to help identify genes that might be the cause behind the issue. This will help medical professionals to confirm the condition, helping them to prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Because Brugada syndrome is often inherited, the patients family members may also sometimes be checked for the faulty gene that causes it. This helps to solidify the diagnosis for the patient, while it also helps to identify potential problems in their family members. Your doctor might also ask if there is a history of other heart conditions in your family.
