Answer: D

Brugada syndrome was described by Brugada brothers, Pedro, Josep and Ramon, in their seminal paper in 1992. It has a propensity for life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Atrial arrhythmias have also been described recently. Though drugs like quinidine and cilostozol have been noted to reduce the frequency of arrhythmia, the only life saving treatment option available is the implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
