Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited disorder usually afflicting patients with otherwise structurally normal hearts. Many triggers have been identified that can result in the phenotypic expression of the higher-risk BrS type 1 pattern. These triggers include but are not limited to fever, heightened vagal tone, and sodium (Na) channel blocking agents. Conversion to the type 1 pattern during exercise is unusual and in fact isoproterenol is a treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm in Brugada syndrome.
