Possible role of epicardial left ventricular programmed stimulation in Brugada syndrome.
A patient with recurrent syncope due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. Programmed right ventricular stimulation could not induce arrhythmia. Epicardial stimulation from a left ventricular site through the coronary sinus led to polymorphic VT. The stimulation protocol for risk stratification in Brugada syndrome is discussed.
