[SCD-FORUM] 5S. Brugada syndrome. Dr. Arenzo

[SCD Symposium]

First, I would like to congratulate the organizers of this beautiful  
Symposium; thanks to them we can exchange ideas with other colleagues.
My question is the following:
The finding of a typical Brugada pattern in ECG, in asymptomatic  
patient, without heart disease proven by noninvasive studies  
(echocardiogram, ergometer and Holter), and no family background of  
sudden death.
In these cases, does the test with ajmaline have a diagnostic/ 
prognostic value?
Is performing electrophysiological evaluation justified?
Does the genetic study provide prognostic data?

Thank you, and best regards for all the participants.
