ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads following administration of class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs.
Electrocardiographic changes were evaluated retrospectively in five patients without previous episodes of syncope or ventricular fibrillation who developed abnormal ST segment elevation mimicking the Brugada syndrome in leads V1-V3 after the administration of class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs. Pilsicainide (four patients) or flecainide (one patient) were administered orally for the treatment of sym...

متن کاملUnderlying cardiomyopathy in patients with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads.
BACKGROUND Ventricular fibrillation (VF) and sudden death (SD) may occur in patients with ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. The mechanism of such events is unclear, so the aim of the present study was to assess whether there is an underlying morphological or pathological abnormality in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen consecutive patients (44+/-10 years old, all ...
متن کاملDiffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction.
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and...
