Case Reports
[Variant Brugada syndrome--mild ST segment elevation in inferior leads and aborted sudden cardiac death].
We 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. ⋯ 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.
