As an autosomal dominant genetic heart condition, you can inherit Brugada syndrome from either parent. You only need one copy of the genetic mutation to have the condition yourself. 

It can be worth noting, though, that Brugada syndrome tends to affect men more than women. This may be due to higher levels of testosterone contributing in some way to the condition. However, it may also be a result of other causes for the condition rather than inherited ones. For instance, men typically are prescribed more of the antihypertensive medications that can cause a person to acquire the condition.

Additionally, it is possible to have a genetic type of Brugada syndrome without having inherited it from either parent. This is because the mutation to the relevant genes can occur spontaneously during conception.

While Brugada syndrome can be life threatening, if appropriately treated and managed, you can avoid triggering the condition and enjoy a long life. This is why working with heart services to achieve an early diagnosis and create a treatment plan is incredibly important.
