Brugada-like Electrocardiographic Changes Induced by Propafenone:a Case Report
Brugada syndrome presents mainly in adulthood,and sudden death occurs mainly at rest or during sleep.It is uncommon in childhood,especially with atrial flutter as the first manifestation.In this article,we report a case of a 13-year-old child with atrial flutter as the first manifestation,without underlying cardiac disease,who developed Brugada-like electrocardiographic changes during the treatment of propafenone,and genetic testing revealed the suspected mutant genes SCN5A(c.2834A＞G[p.D945G]).Present case and related literature review might improve the awareness of clinicians on the inducing factors of Brugada syndrome and related a variety of cardiac arrhythmias,the importance of electrocardiogram monitoring during the application of antiarrhythmic drugs,and provide guidance and close follow-up strategies to this high-risk group,so as to avoid the occurrence of adverse events in these patients.
