title: A danger of induction of Brugada syndrome during pill-in-the-pocket therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
abstract: Rhythm control therapy by sodium channel blockers is widely performed for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Here, we present a case of acquired Brugada syndrome by pill-in-the-pocket treatment using pilsicainide. It is important that this therapy should be applied only after confirming the drug safety to the patients.
