Abstract

<p>Syncope is one of the most frequent symptoms in emergency setting. Emergency physician must rule out cardiogenic syncope. A female in her 40’s visited the ER due to transient loss of consciousness. Her electrocardiogram showed a Brugada-pattern with specific ST-elevation. However, her history was atypical as the syncope caused by Brugada syndrome. Her syncope was considered drug-induced since she used isosorbide sulfate spray and had dizziness before the syncope. The diagnosis of syncope is challenging because symptoms disappear when patients arrive. Even in the presence of a Brugada-pattern ECG, a detailed history taking should be conducted for the appropriate disposition.</p>
