“BANGUNGOT”


“BANGUNGOT”

Have you heard of a young male, Asian, or of Asian descent , without prior cardiac complaints, who suddenly died in his sleep, ? Usually, people call this as “ bangungot”. But this is the typical history of someone with “ Brugada syndrome “. This is somehow difficult to catch as the patients usually do not consult a doctor. 

Once the Brugada ECG pattern is recognized , for example, during a routine or annual check up, the patient should be referred accordingly so as he could be advised of the proper management to prevent the catastrophic arrhythmic events that are associated with this syndrome.
