Oxcarbazepine-induced resistant ventricular fibrillation in an apparently healthy young man
Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus regular rhythm; right bundle-branch block with ST-segment elevation in leads V1 through V2 and corrected QT of 428 milliseconds (Fig. 1). Brugada syndrome is definitively diagnosed when a type 1 ST segment is observed in more than 1 right precordial lead (V1 thro...

Summary: | Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sinus regular rhythm; right bundle-branch block with ST-segment elevation in leads V1 through V2 and corrected QT of 428 milliseconds (Fig. 1). Brugada syndrome is definitively diagnosed when a type 1 ST segment is observed in more than 1 right precordial lead (V1 through V3) in the presence or absence of a sodium channel-blocking agent and in conjunction with one of the following: documented ventricular fibrillation, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, a family history of sudden cardiac death at younger than 45 years, coved-type ECGs in family members, inducibility of ventricular tachycardia with programmed electrical stimulation, syncope, or nocturnal agonal respiration. |
