Brugada syndrome with aborted sudden cardiac death related to liquorice-induced hypokalemia.

OBJECTIVE It was the aim of this study to report an aborted cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation and electrocardiographic changes consistent with Brugada syndrome due to liquorice-induced hypokalemia. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION Ventricular fibrillation was witnessed in a 50-year-old woman who was admitted to our emergency department with a history of liquorice ingestion,...

Importance of exercise testing shortly after subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in patients with Brugada syndrome – The first case of associated inappropriate shock in Japan

We report the case of a 51-year-old patient with Brugada syndrome (BrS) who experienced inappropriate shock due to T-wave oversensing (TWOS) during exercise when the optimal sensing vector was selected based on the automatic analysis by a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD). After selecting another vector during exercise testing, TWOS did not re-occur. Selection of appro...

Transient loss of consciousness in a patient with a Brugada like ECG

Syncope in a patient with a Brugada syndrome channelopathy carries significant prognostic implications and warrants consideration of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. We report a case of a 62-year-old gentleman who presented with a transient loss of consciousness and an electrocardiogram (ECG) suggestive of type 1 Brugada syndrome. Further investigation revealed evidenc...

A Report of Brugada Syndrome Presenting with Cardiac Arrest Triggered by Verapamil Intoxication

BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is a disease characterized by a specific electrocardiographic pattern and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. We present this case with the updated literature to emphasise the need to consider the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome in patients admitted to the emergency ward with sudden cardiac arrest. CASE REPORT A 16-year-old female patient was admitted to the e...

T-wave oversensing during drug challenge test after subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation in a patient with Brugada syndrome

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is an effective alternative to the conventional transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) system in patients that can be employed without the need for antitachycardia or antibradycardia pacing. Because the risk associated with a TV-ICD increases over time, populations in which there may be a preference for an S-ICD include younger patients, those w...
