Brugada syndrome type 1 with type 2 and type 3, which level is more dangerous?

Ask
Hello doctor! May I ask what is the more dangerous level of Brugada syndrome type 1 with type 2 and type 3? My husband was diagnosed by a doctor at the hospital with Brugada syndrome type 1 but the family does not want to install a pacemaker, is there any way to stabilize the heart rate? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. Thank you sincerely!
