Late potentials and the Brugada syndrome.
The Brugada syndrome accounts for approximately 20% of cases of sudden cardiac death in patients with structurally normal hearts (1–3). The syndrome is characterized by an ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3) unrelated to ischemia, electrolyte disturbances or obvious structural heart disease, and is sometimes accompanied by a right bundle branch block (RBBB) morphology of t...
متن کاملBrugada Pattern Electrocardiogram Unmasked with Cocaine Ingestion
Cocaine is considered a leading cause of drug-related deaths. This is usually sudden, unwitnessed, and without prodromal features. It has been reported that in-hospital mortality is close to 2%. Cocaine has powerful central nervous system effects(1) and acute cocaine overdose has been associated with hyperthermia, agitation, paranoid ideation, status epilepticus, ventricular fibrillation, ventr...
متن کاملInduced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias.
Case presentation: A previously healthy 20-year-old man arrives at the emergency department for a consultation for mild fever. During his initial interview, he complains of palpitations to the triage nurse and therefore he undergoes an ECG, which is placed in the chart. A few minutes later, while awaiting his turn to be seen, he goes into cardiac arrest. The patient does not respond to resuscit...
متن کاملPrognostic Significance of the Lown Grades and Late Potentials in Patients after Myocardial Infarction
Background and Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the long term overall survival of patients after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to determine the association of survival with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia, as recorded by Holter electrocardiography (ECG) and signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG). Subjects and Methods: One hundred fifty two patients wit...
متن کاملType 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram induced by hypokalemia
Coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads are the characteristics of Brugada syndrome, an inherited arrhythmogenic ion channel disease, which could lead to ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death. Hypokalemia alone may induce Type 1 Brugada pattern electrocardiogram (EKG), and the association has rarely been reported. We describe a patient with hypokalemia 2.9 mmol/L and the...
