    AbstractWe present a case of a 61-year-old man with a history of syncope and sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, with the symptoms of spontaneous electrocardiographic changes characteristic for the Brugada syndrome. The patient received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. This patient was previously hospitalised in 2003, when the diagnosis of atrio-ventricular block has been established and in 2006, when he had chest pain and was operated because of the right coronary artery ostium haematoma. However, the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome was not established.
