  • Abstract
    We present a patient with Brugada-type ECG abnormalities and recurrent polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Subsequent investigations confirmed the diagnosis of isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction. The VT resolved after the 1st day and was not inducible subsequently. This case illustrates the importance of a careful study of the ECG to exclude other conditions in a patient with Brugada-type ECG abnormalities.
