Key result
Brugada syndrome accounts for ~4% of all SCDs and links primarily to the SCN5A gene.
Case Report
Brugada syndrome is a rare diagnosis with a prevalence of 3 to 5 per 10,000 accounting for 4% of all sudden cardiac deaths. It can present with ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac deaths in structurally normal hearts. The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant. An ECG showing a Brugada type 1 pattern with other clinical features is required for diagnosis. Different genes have been associated with the disease, the commonest being the voltage-gated sodium channel alpha type V gene (SCN5A) (1).

Bakhit et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Brugada syndrome. Brugada syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant diagnosis with a prevalence of 3 to 5 per 10,000, accounting for 4% of all sudden cardiac deaths, most commonly associated with the SCN5A gene.
