Hello. With the question of Brugada syndrome, has ICD implanted but still has palpitations, is it okay?. The doctor would advise as follows:
You are 22 years old, implanting an ICD because of Brugada syndrome is the best option to prevent arrhythmias that can be life-threatening. So, after implanting the device, do you go to the doctor periodically? Because this is extremely important, because with the new and modern generation of machines, the device will record arrhythmias during your past time.
Your palpitations could be symptoms of extrasystoles or other arrhythmias. Therefore, the doctor recommends that you visit a cardiologist as soon as possible and prioritize the place where you have the ICD implantation technique.
Vinmec International General Hospital is a pioneer in placing pacemakers, especially modern devices such as ICDs, CRTs... and always recommends patients to have regular check-ups and check-ups. , so you can go to the cardiology clinic of Vinmec Health System to get more advice from doctors.
