AbstractWe describe a case of an otherwise healthy 48-year-old man who survived aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD). His ECG showed ST segment elevation in inferior leads, therefore an acute coronary syndrome was suspected. However, serial troponin T and CPK-MB were negative, echocardiogram was unremarkable and exercise test was negative. On the basis of electrophysiological study, positive ajmaline test, persistent ST segment elevation in inferior leads and other clinical features (PQ interval of 240 ms, family history of SCD) a diagnosis of variant Brugada syndrome was made. Persistent ST segment elevations in inferior leads can be a marker of variant Brugada syndrome.
