=== Medication === [[Quinidine]] is an antiarrhythmic drug that may reduce the chance of serious abnormal heart rhythms occurring in some people with Brugada syndrome.<ref name=Bel2004/><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yang F, Hanon S, Lam P, Schweitzer P | title = Quinidine revisited | journal = The American Journal of Medicine | volume = 122 | issue = 4 | pages = 317β21 | date = April 2009 | pmid = 19249010 | doi = 10.1016/j.amjmed.2008.11.019 }}</ref> It is most frequently used in people with Brugada syndrome who have an ICD and have experienced several episodes of life-threatening arrhythmias, but may also be used in people at high risk of arrhythmias but in whom an ICD is not appropriate.<ref name=Pri2013 /> [[Isoprenaline]], a drug that has similarities with [[adrenaline]], can be used in an emergency for people with Brugada syndrome who are having frequent repeated life-threatening arrhythmias, known as an "electrical storm".<ref name=Pri2013 /> This drug must be given as a continuous infusion into a vein and therefore is not suitable for long-term use.
