[Atypical behavior of QTc and ST-T intervals in a patient with the Brugada syndrome].
We present a 56-year-old man who was admitted to an emergency service after receiving an electric shock. The ECG showed a J point and ST segment elevation of up to 5 mm in leads V1 to V3, which normalized in 24 hours. The ajmaline test caused elevation of the J point and of the ST segment up to 12 mm in leads V1 to V3, QTc lengthening, and QTc and T wave alternans. These results denoted alterations in the duration of myocardial action potentials, a common finding in patients with Brugada syndrome and long QT syndrome.
