Abstract:
(Refer to page 48)
Answer: Brugada syndrome
The patient did not have any cardiac symptoms
or any cardiac enzyme changes suggestive
of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Although not always present, the finding of
reciprocal ST segment depression in opposing
leads favours myocardial infarction. This was
also not present in the patient’s ECG. Echocardiogram
did not show any regional wall
motion changes that could be seen in patients
with myocardial infarction. Thus the probability
of this patient having AMI based on the
ECG alone is very unlikely.
