Wide complex tachycardia and brugada electrocardiographic pattern induced by propafenone: A rare and unpredictable pro-arrhythmic effect
Propafenone is a class IC anti-arrhythmic drug used for the rhythm control strategy in atrial fibrillation worldwide, including in Latin America countries. Propafenone intoxication is a potentially life-threatening condition. Ventricular tachycardia and the Brugada electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern are possible pro-arrhythmic manifestations of propafenone poisoning. We present a rare patient case, where therapeutic range dosage of propafenone resulted in a wide complex tachycardia, followed by the Brugada ECG pattern during atrial fibrillation. We discuss the possible mechanisms related to this unusual ECG manifestation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
