Key result
The exercise test as a tool in Brugada syndrome lacks reported results in this truncated abstract, which notes sudden cardiac arrest in normal hearts accounts for 5 to 10 percent of cases.
Why the study?
Does exercise testing improve risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in patients with Brugada syndrome?

Exercise testing may serve as a safe and valuable adjunctive tool for risk stratification of sudden cardiac death in patients with Brugada syndrome.
Introduction Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are caused by ventricular tachyarrhythmias, with most of these associated with structural heart disease, particularly coronary heart disease. SCA is an uncommon occurrence in the apparently normal heart and accounts for only 5 to 10 percent of total cases. […]
