Brugada syndrome was described as a cause for the sudden unexplained cardiac death syndrome seen in Thai men in 1997. [50] The first genetic mutations affecting the SCN5A gene associated with the syndrome were identified by their brother Ramon Brugada in 1998, [ 13 ] with many more mutations affecting at least 19 genes subsequently identified ...
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.

Brugada syndrome is a genetic disease that can result in mutations in the sodium ion channel (gene SCN5A) of the myocytes in the heart. [10] Brugada syndrome can result in ventricular fibrillation and potentially death. It is a major cause of sudden unexpected cardiac death in young, otherwise healthy people. [11]
Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome may refer to: Brugada syndrome , a genetic disorder in which the electrical activity within the heart is abnormal Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS), a sudden unexpected death of adolescents and adults, mainly during sleep

Long QT syndrome is estimated to affect 1 in 7,000 people. [6] Females are affected more often than males. [6] Most people with the condition develop symptoms before they are 40 years old. [6] It is a relatively common cause of sudden death along with Brugada syndrome and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. [3]
