Brugada syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death related to ventricular arrhythmia. 1, 2, 3 Initial studies reported rates of syncope or sudden cardiac death ranging from 17% to 42%. Although typically considered channelopathy, subtle structural changes have been reported in this disease’s histopathology and magnetic resonance imaging. This includes fibrosis, fatty infiltration, and inflammatory infiltrates with collagen deposition. 2, 4We present a case of a young patient with a known history of Brugada syndrome from an SCN5A mutation who suffered a cardiac arrest and arrhythmias with exercise and was found to have a nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The case discusses explicitly the pathophysiology and diagnosis of Brugada syndrome, recommended care and management in patients diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, and the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) in these patients.
