Ventricular fibrillation/Brugada-like ST segment elevation: First presentation of subarachnoid hemorrhage

Abstract

Brugada syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited channelopathy estimated to be responsible for 4–12% of all sudden deaths, particularly among middle-aged men. It is characterized by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. This report discuses a patient with subarachonoid hemorrhage who developed the characteristic electrocardiographic features of Brugada syndrome.
