Brugada ECG pattern obscured by right bundle branch block: how to resolve the enigma?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Figure 1. (Panel A) 12-lead ECG depicting high degree right bundle branch block (see text for details). (Panel B) 12-lead ECG depicting the “Chiale” maneuver Right apical ventricular pacing during with timed A-V intervals in the fused QRS complexes. Black arrows show classic type 1 Brugada ECG pattern. Upon cessation of pacing, high-degree right bundle branch block reappears (white arrows). ECG = electrocardiogram.

A case of Brugada Syndrome unmasked by a postoperative febrile state
Abstract Background: Brugada Syndrome (BS) is an inherited ion channelopathy characterized by an electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of a coved type ST segment elevation in right precordial leads with or without right bundle branch block. Case Presentation: A 23-year old male presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Further evaluation revealed a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The ...
متن کاملBrugada type 1 pattern and lithium therapy.
Brugada syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by specific dynamic electrocardiographic patterns in the right precordial leads and an increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Lithium, a drug commonly prescribed for psychiatric disorders, may unmask the Brugada ECG pattern in patients with the genetic disease. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with a ps...
متن کاملBrugada-pattern electrocardiogram in propranolol intoxication.
Brugada syndrome is characterized by the electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of right bundle-branch block (RBBB) with a high take-off, coved ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads V1 to V3, and the risk of sudden cardiac death. Typically, there is no evidence of structural heart disease. In many cases, Brugada syndrome has been linked to a mutation of the gene SCN5A, which encodes for the ...
متن کاملBrugada-like electrocardiographic changes induced by hypokalemia.
Since its description in 1992, Brugada Syndrome has become the second cause of death among young adults in some countries1. The Brugada syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance, which may cause syncope and sudden cardiac death in young individuals with a normal heart. It is characterized by an electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of complete or incomplete right bundle ...
متن کاملSurface ECG characteristics of ventricular tachyarrhythmias before degeneration into ventricular fibrillation in patients with Brugada-type ECG.
This study was designed to evaluate whether the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is the arrhythmogenic focus in Brugada syndrome. We enrolled 45 patients with Brugada-type ECG who underwent programmed ventricular stimulation and inducible ventricular fibrillation (VF). In 25 of these 32 patients, repetitive VT was observed before degeneration into VF. The QRS morphology of surface ECG and...
