Abstract

A case of J wave syndrome with ventricular fibrillation (VF) storm and severe hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism is presented. VF storm subsided with an isoproterenol infusion. Prominent J waves and a Brugada-like electrocardiogram pattern disappeared after parathyroidectomy. Ventricular tachyarrhythmia was not induced during an electrophysiological study. The patient remained asymptomatic up to the 12-month follow-up.

Keywords: Brugada syndrome; Hyperparathyroidism; Prominent J waves.
