Spontaneous Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardia in a Patient with Brugada Syndrome

Abstract

We report the case of a 28-year-old man with no structural heart disease, who exhibited clearly augmented ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads, followed by induction of spontaneous right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia with intravenous administration of Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs. The electrophysiologic mechanism of this tachycardia was thought to be triggered activity due to delayed afterdepolarizations. Due to the existence of substrates that were similar to Brugada syndrome combined with right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia, this case may represent a subtype of Brugada syndrome.
