Abstract
The association of an abnormal electrocardiogram (ecg) consisting of right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in leads V1-V3 and sudden arrhythmic death has been described in patients with no demonstrable structural heart disease. A patient with these ecg findings and aborted sudden death is presented. The patient had no structural heart disease and received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator which seems to be the treatment of choice.
