摘要
The case of a 27-year-old male patient with syncope during an episode of fever is presented. Preclinical 12-lead ECG showed typical features of Brugada syndrome with elevated ST segments in lead V1-V3. These ECG patterns disappeared when the body temperature returned to normal after fever reduction therapy. Further diagnostics with an ajmaline test confirmed the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome, a rare disease associated in 30% of cases with mutations in genes encoding the SCN5A myocardial sodium channel with a high risk for arrhythmia. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted in the patient after ventricular tachycardia was inducible during electrophysiological testing.
