ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Brugada ha sido relacionado históricamente a muerte súbita; sin embargo, el diagnóstico y estimación de riesgo puede ser impreciso y variable en razón a los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, comorbilidad y evolución clínica inesperada. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 72 años admitido en el Área de emergencia con electrocardiograma sugestivo de patrón de Brugada tipo I y sincope luego de recibir propafenona "pill in the pocket", revisando las controversias respecto al implante de un cardio desfibrilador. (AU)


Brugada syndrome has been historically related to sudden death. However, the diagnosis and estimation of risk may be inaccurate based on cardio vascular risk factors, comorbidities and unexpected clinical evolution. We present the case of a 72-year old male patient admitted to the emergency room with an EKG suggestive of the Brugada pattern type I and with syncope after receiving propafenone. We review the controversies regarding the use of implantable cardiac defibrillator. (AU)
