Coexistent Brugada Syndrome and Wolff‐Parkinson‐White Syndrome: What Is the First Clinical Presentation?

The coexistence of Brugada syndrome and Wolff‐Parkinson‐White (WPW) syndrome is a very rare phenomenon.

Description
Summary:The coexistence of Brugada syndrome and Wolff‐Parkinson‐White (WPW) syndrome is a very rare phenomenon. We describe a 31‐year‐old patient without any previous cardiac disorder admitted to our hospital due to palpitations and concomitantly diagnosed as WPW syndrome and treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. He was later diagnosed with Brugada syndrome and followed‐up 2 years without any symptoms. We discuss other previously reported cases in literature, in which these two conditions exist simultaneously. (PACE 2011; 760–763)
