Abstract

Brugada syndrome is a congenital disorder that can lead to sudden cardiac death. It is characterized by spontaneous or provoked typical ECG features and the occurrence of malignant ventricular arrhythmias, most commonly manifested by syncope or sudden death. The use of an implantable cardioverter-defi brillator is the only effective therapy for arrhythmic death prevention. The coexistence of Brugada syndrome and coronary heart disease is rarely described in the literature. We present a case of a patient with coexistence of two different heart conditions, symptomatic Brugada syndrome and coronary heart disease.
