Can a cardiologist perform special ECG for Brugada syndrome suspicion?
Patient's Query
Hi I'm 20 years old and recently I feel like I've had a syncope in bed but I'm not sure maybe I just don't remember when I fell asleep. I generally do tests and have had many ecg in just 2 years but i have intense fear that i might have Brugada syndrome and I've heard that this doesn't always show up on ecg ,if this is true.I heard about a special ecg which can be performed for someone suspected with the syndrome.So i am wondering if i can i ask from someone cardiologist to perform it for me or are there other additional tests that can bring some peace in mind for me.As do medication I don't take and i don't have family history of heart issues.

It's great that you have had previous tests. Fainting, known as syncope, can be caused by many things. Brugada Syndrome is a very rare heart condition. Diagnosis may require special ECGs or genetic testing. If you are worried, it might be helpful to talk to a cardiologist.
