説明

<p>Mutations in the cardiac sodium channel SCN5A can cause phenotypic overlap syndrome of long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome. However, Brugada-type ST elevations in patients with overlap syndrome are often concealed, which creates a diagnostic challenge. A 38-year-old man was admitted due to ventricular fibrillation (VF). The 12-lead electrocardiogram showed a prolonged QT interval and saddleback-type ST elevation. Pilsicainide administration induced coved-type ST elevation and VF triggered by a single premature ventricular contraction. A genetic analysis showed an SCN5A c.5350G>A p.E1784K mutation. The present case suggests the importance of a drug administration test being performed in the clinical management of overlap syndrome. </p>
