[SCD-FORUM] 42E Brugada patient. Can he work? Dr. Ramirez

[SCD Symposium]

Congratulations and more power to the organizers of
this excellent symposium.
I would like to ask your expert opinion about a recent
patient I encountered: a male in his mid 30s with type
1 brugada ecg pattern, negative EPS for inducible VT
and no family history of sudden death. The said
patient is applying as a seaman (works as a ship crew
member). Can this patient be cleared for employment in
such occupation without risks?
