This is a bit of a sidetrack from Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and BrS in children specifically.
Through my work at The Hospital for Sick Children, one organization that I have been exposed to indirectly is the SADS Foundation. SADS stands for Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes, an organization which focuses on the types of rhythm disorders that I am involved with through my work at SickKids.
Sudden cardiac death (which in certain diseases is associated with exercise specifically) is a concern for a number of arrhythmias/other arrhythmogenic diseases. It is quite unfortunate that due to the risk of death, it is not the best clinical symptom to screen for. This is why a number of preventative measures are important, and the emerging use of exercise stress tests in patient diagnosis in addition to preventative treatments such as ICD implant.
