This protocol covers patients with Brugada syndrome who fall into one of two high-risk categories: those who have survived an aborted cardiac arrest, or those in whom spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia has been documented — whether on ECG or Holter monitoring.
For patients in this category, current evidence supports an implantable device-based intervention as the primary therapeutic strategy. The full protocol specifies the recommended intervention and the criteria governing its use.
