Oral amiodarone provoking inferior ST elevation and unmasking Brugada-like electrocardiogram feature.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A woman presented with broad complex tachycardia. She was converted to sinus rhythm with intravenous amiodarone and continued on oral amiodarone. The amiodarone was stopped 3 weeks later as she was pregnant. Electrocardiogram (ECG) then revealed coved-type ST elevation in C1, suggestive of Brugada syndrome, and widespread inferior ST elevation. Electrocardiogram several months later showed resolution of inferior ST elevation.

Type I Brugada electrocardiogram pattern during the recovery phase of exercise testing.
A 33-year-old Algerian man presenting with acute asthma was found to have right bundle branch block and anterior ST-segment elevation on surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Two years earlier he had suffered a syncopal event during which relatives were unable to find a pulse. A brother had died suddenly with acute asthma. Exercise tolerance testing was performed (Figure 1). The resting supine ECG m...
متن کاملEpicardial Brugada syndrome ablation unmasking inferior J waves.
Patients with Brugada syndrome are at risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Epicardial substrate ablation for Brugada syndrome has been described as a means of controlling these arrhythmias and recent reports describe elimination of the Brugada phenotype with ablation. We describe a unique case in which a patient developed inferior J waves with an early repolarization-type electroca...
متن کاملThe syndrome of right bundle branch block ST segment elevation in V1 to V3 and sudden death--the Brugada syndrome.
In 1992 a new syndrome was described consisting of syncopal episodes and/or sudden death in patients with a structurally normal heart and an electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristic of right bundle branch block with ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3. The disease is genetically determined, with an autosomal dominant pattern of transmission. Three different mutations that affect the structure ...

A51-year-old adopted white female was admitted to the intensive care unit with hepatic encephalopathy secondary to an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage on a background of alcohol-induced chronic liver disease. She was hemodynamically stable (blood pressure 119/64 mm Hg) but pyrexial (39.0°C) and in atrial fibrillation, with a poorly controlled ventricular rate (Figure 1). Her regular medication...
متن کاملBrugada syndrome and right ventricle morphofunctional abnormalities on echocardiography in young male with family anamnesis of sudden cardiac death.
First presented by Brugada and Brugada in 1992, Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is a primary electrical disease of the heart that causes sudden cardiac death or life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. This disease is hereditary autosomic dominant transmitted and genetically determined. The syndrome has been linked to mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding for the a-subunit of the sodium channel. Electr...
