Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 20-year-old man with an episode of syncope followed by ventricular fibrillation (VF)-induced cardiac arrest. It discusses some unusual features found in Brugada syndrome (BS) patient including the occurrence of arrhythmia episode and the presence of J waves in the patient electrocardiogram (ECG). The authors conclude that J waves accompanied by an atrioventricular (AV) block may serve as an important sign in detection of high-risk individuals.
