I guess Brugada is a possibility. I chose the Wipiki entry to read. Here is part of what it said:

The cause of death in Brugada syndrome is ventricular fibrillation.The episodes of syncope (fainting) and sudden death (aborted or not) are caused by fast polymorphic ventricular tachycardias or ventricular fibrillation. These arrhythmias appear with no warning. While there is no exact treatment modality that reliably and totally prevents ventricular fibrillation from occurring in this syndrome, treatment lies in termination of this lethal arrhythmia before it causes death. This is done via implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), which continuously monitors the heart rhythm and will defibrillate an individual if ventricular fibrillation is noted. Some recently performed studies had evaluated the role of quinidine, a Class Ia antiarrhythmic drug, for decreasing VF episodes occurring in this syndrome. Quinidine was found to decrease number of VF episodes and correcting spontaneous ECG changes, possibly via inhibiting Ito channels.[9] Those with risk factors for coronary artery disease may require an angiogram before ICD implantation.

You can search on part of the word. Also it never hurts to try googling the word, especially if you have some other pertinent words to use in the search as well. If you're close enough, Google will sometimes give it to you. There's also Google Suggest, particularly helpful if you know the begining of words or phrases but not the end. As you type, it starts giving a list of suggestions. Hope some of that helps.
