Video Summary
In this case, a 47-year-old man with a history of syncope visits after his brother, diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, had a cardiac arrest. Given the familial history and the information provided, the next step is often to conduct genetic testing for Brugada syndrome (option B), as the patient is at an age where risk is reduced, and ECG evidence suggests possible Brugada syndrome. This can help confirm the diagnosis and guide further management, including potential defibrillator implantation or additional testing. However, clinical guidelines and expert opinions are essential for a definitive approach.
