Type 1 Brugada ECG unmasked by intracoronary contrast media

Interestingly, some case series suggest that this diagnosis, with no symptoms or family history, and especially where diagnostic ECG changes are only evident following provocation agent, may carry as low a risk of sudden cardiac death as approximately 0.35% per year. 2 There are reports of numerous...

Summary:Interestingly, some case series suggest that this diagnosis, with no symptoms or family history, and especially where diagnostic ECG changes are only evident following provocation agent, may carry as low a risk of sudden cardiac death as approximately 0.35% per year. 2 There are reports of numerous situations and compounds unmasking Brugada ECG changes.
