Management

The first line treatment option for Brugada syndrome is insertion of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator to stop arrhythmias and prevent cardiac arrest. If someone experiences recurrent ICD shocks due to arrhythmias, then they may require antiarrhythmic medications. 

Those with Brugada syndrome should avoid medications previously mentioned that may result in ECG changes, and should individuals develop a fever, this should be promptly investigated and treated.

Those with the Brugada pattern typically do not require specific treatment.
