⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

Conclusion: Although Type 1 is considered to be less risky in terms of sudden cardiac death compared to patients with Brugada pattern, BrS ECG is dynamic and variable, Type 2 can turn into Type 1 in a short time; therefore it should not be overlooked.

Abstract

Aim: Rapid and accurate diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is very important because of the high risk of sudden cardiac death from arrhythmia in symptomatic patients. We aimed to present and discuss a case in whom ECG pattern of Type 2 Brugada was detected in the emergency department due to clinical diagnosis difficulty and rarity. Case: A forty-nine-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with localized compressive chest pain in the left chest and epigastric region that started 45 minutes ago. There was a history of recurrent syncope and a family history of premature death. In his ECG, which was taken after the rate control was achieved, an ‘if-type’ appearance was detected, which is characterized by a peak heart rate of 99/min, and a depression of more than 1 mm following elevation in the ST segment in leads V1-V2. Conclusion: Although Type 1 is considered to be less risky in terms of sudden cardiac death compared to patients with Brugada pattern, BrS ECG is dynamic and variable, Type 2 can turn into Type 1 in a short time; therefore it should not be overlooked.

Özet

Amaç: Brugada sendromunun hızlı ve doğru teşhisi, semptomatik hastalarda aritmiden kaynaklanan ani kardiyak ölüm riskinin yüksek olması nedeniyle çok önemlidir. Acil serviste Tip 2 Brugada EKG paterni tespit edilen bir olguyu, klinik tanı güçlüğü ve nadir görülmesi sebebi ile sunmayı ve tartışmayı amaçladık. Olgu: Kırkdokuz yaşında erkek hasta acil servise 45 dakika önce başlayan sol göğüste ve epigastrik bölgede lokalize sıkıştırıcı tarzda göğüs ağrısıyla başvurdu. Tekrarlayan senkop öyküsü, ailede erken ölüm hikâyesi mevcuttu. Hız kontrolü sağlandıktan sonra çekilen EKG’sinde kalp tepe atımı 99/dk, V1- V2 derivasyonlarında ST segmentinde elevasyonu takiben 1mm’den fazla çökme ile karakterize ‘eğer tipi’ görünüm tespit edildi. Sonuç: Tip 1 Brugada paterni olan hastalara göre ani kardiyak ölüm açısından daha az riskli olarak kabul edilse de BrS EKG’si dinamik ve değişkendir, Tip 2 kısa sürede Tip 1’e dönüşebilir; bu nedenle gözden kaçırılmamalıdır
