Figure 1
Figure 1
12-lead electrocardiogram obtained following coronary angiography on a middle-aged woman with recent ventricular fibrillation arrest and return of spontaneous circulation. The results demonstrate coved ST-segment elevation ≥ 2 mm (0.2 mV) followed by a negative T wave in leads V1 and V2; findings are consistent with Brugada type I syndrome (in setting of recent arrest).
Figure 2
Figure 2
12-lead electrocardiogram for the same patient obtained 1 month before her cardiac arrest. The results demonstrate sinus rhythm with right bundle branch block.
