Deskripsi
We identified a patient with the Brugada syndrome and frequent episodes of the traumatic syncope. This patient presented with alternating ST-segment elevation in the right precordial and the high lateral leads. The signal-averaged ECG was positive for the late potentials and electrophysiology study revealed no inducible supraventricular or ventricular tachycardias. Because of the frequent traumatic syncope, a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was implanted. This report suggests that the Brugada syndrome may have different electrocardiographic presentations within a single individual over a short period of time. The significance of these changes needs to be assessed in a prospective long term study.
