Electrical storms in Brugada syndrome successfully treated with isoproterenol infusion and quinidine orally
2007
Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac disease and is associated with a peculiar pattern on the electrocardiogram and an increased risk of sudden death. Electrical storm is a malignant but rare phenomenon in symptomatic patients with Brugada syndrome. We describe a patient who presented with repetitive ICD discharges during two episodes of recurrent VF. After the initiation of isoproterenol infusion and oral quinidine, the ventricular tachyarrhythmias were successfully suppressed. (Neth Heart J 2007;15:151-4.)
