- Abstract
This article focuses on the suppression of electrical storm by oral quinidine in a patient with Brugada syndrome. A 41-year-old man was presented with two episodes of resuscitated cardiac arrest over 3 months. Rhythm recorded during resuscitation was ventricular fibrillation. Resting ECG was not typical for Brugada syndrome, thus pharmacologic provocation was performed. Procainamide infusion unmasked coved type ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads confirming the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. Because of aborted cardiac death and typical Brugada changes in provoked ECG, a single chamber ICD was implanted. Following quinidine administration, ECG abnormalities normalized, unifocal PVCs were suppressed and nocturnal palpitations relieved.
