The topic Bangungut you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Brugada Syndrome.

Quick Summary:

  • Brugada Syndrome is a disorder that affects the lower chambers of the heart leading to irregular heartbeats and disruption of the heart’s normal rhythm. Special channels in the heart are used to conduct electrical activity. A defect in these channels causes the heart defects and other symptoms
  • The signs and symptoms of Brugada Syndrome include a special type of electrocardiogram pattern, fainting, and an irregular heartbeat. The condition can lead to sudden unexpected death in some cases
  • Research has shown that Asian men are more likely to be affected by this condition, especially later in life. Factors, such as genetic mutations or a genetic predisposition, increase the chances for this condition
  • Once Brugada Syndrome is diagnosed, treatment measures, such as an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and drug therapy, may be used. A successful treatment can lead to a good prognosis
  • Fainting, cardiac arrest, and ICD-related problems are potential complications that can worsen the prognosis for individuals with Brugada Syndrome
  • Brugada Syndrome caused by genetic factors cannot be prevented, but drugs that exacerbate the condition or cause disease-like symptoms may be stopped or discontinued

Please find comprehensive information on Brugada Syndrome regarding definition, distribution, risk factors, causes, signs & symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment, prevention, prognosis, and additional useful information HERE.
