Transient J-Wave Appearance in the Inferior-Lateral Leads during Electrical Storm in a Patient with Brugada Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 67-year-old male patient was admitted with an abrupt sudden cardiac death. He represented with an extreme electrical storm of 30 times of ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes on one day. External shocks were performed to terminate VF. Transient J-wave in the inferior-lateral leads and Brugada electrocardiography pattern on the right precordial leads appeared during the electrical storm. And J-wave disappeared after the termination of electrical storm. We report a case of the appearance of J-wave during electrical storm in a patient with Brugada syndrome.

Brugada Syndrome is a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest and has a unique ECG pattern. In fact, with ST-segment elevation down sloping in the right precordial leads (v1-v3), RBBB pattern in lateral leads and J-point elevation is revealed. We must notice and avoid trigger factors of this syndrome during general anesthesia. Patient is a 39 old man who attended to emergency department with sudden...

The J wave, a deflection that follows the QRS complex of the surface electrocardiogram, is usually partially buried in the R wave in humans, appearing as a J-point elevation. An early repolarization (ER) pattern characterized by J-point elevation, slurring of the terminal part of the QRS, and ST-segment elevation has long been recognized and considered to be totally benign. Recent studies have ...
متن کاملAppearance of J wave in the inferolateral leads and ventricular fibrillation provoked by mild hypothermia in a patient with Brugada syndrome
Introduction Patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) are recognized as having a high risk for sudden cardiac death owing to ventricular fibrillation (VF). The electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern in BrS is dynamic and variable, and often the typical pattern is concealed. Multiple factors have been shown to influence ST-segment elevation in BrS patients and suspected cases of BrS. These factors include ...

BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic arrhythmogenic disease characterized by ST-segment elevations in the right precordial leads of the electrocardiogram (ECG). These ECG changes may be concealed and BrS may present with electrical storm characterized by recurrent ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. CASE REPORT A 49-year-old previously healthy man was admitted with electrical ...

J wave syndrome has emerged from a benign electrocardiographic abnormality to a proarrythmic state and a significant cause of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation responsible for sudden cardiac death. Electrical genesis, genetics and ionic mechanisms of J wave syndromes are active areas of research. Typically two of these viz., Early repolarization syndrome (ER) and Brugada syndrome (BrS) are fa...
