Abstract:
A 50‐year‐old woman visited the emergency department with a high fever due to pneumonia. Incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia occurred and was terminated by intravenous lidocaine. Her ECG during sinus rhythm demonstrated ST segment elevation suggestive of Brugada syndrome ( BS ). An intensive examination could not detect any structural disease, and typical coved‐type ST elevation was unmasked by a pilsicainide injection leading to a diagnosis of BS . An ICD was implanted for secondary prevention of ventricular arrhythmia. The patient has been free from any recurrences of arrhythmia for 3 years.
