Although many of those with Brugada syndrome do not have any symptoms, Brugada syndrome may cause fainting or sudden cardiac death due to serious abnormal heart rhythms, such as ventricular fibrillation or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. [9] Blackouts may be caused by brief abnormal heart rhythms that revert to a normal rhythm spontaneously.
A 2011 autopsy-based study found that sudden death was attributed to a cardiac condition in 79.3% of cases, and was unexplained in 20.7%. [3] In the Philippines, sudden adult death syndrome (or in their term, bangungot) is mainly caused by the Brugada syndrome. [14]

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]
Recently described syndromes such as the Brugada Syndrome may give clues to the underlying mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias. In the Brugada syndrome, changes may be found in the resting ECG with evidence of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and ST elevation in the chest leads V1–V3, with an underlying propensity to sudden cardiac death.

Clinical trials have also found that a high-protein diet may help you lose weight and even potentially keep it off, since protein boosts the calories your body burns during digestion, per a 2020 ...
Examples of these inherited arrhythmia syndromes include Long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada Syndrome, Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and Short QT syndrome. Many are also associated with environmental or neurogenic triggers such as response to loud sounds that can initiate lethal arrhythmias.
