Induction of ventricular fibrillation in Brugada syndrome by site-specific right ventricular premature depolarization.
This patient was a 50-year-old man. Oral pilsicainide unmasked a Brugada-type ECG abnormality and self-terminating polymorphic VT was repetitively induced. The polymorphic VT always developed following a specific ventricular premature complex showing a left bundle branch block pattern suggesting a limited origin in the right ventricle.
