A 3-year-old man with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for type 2 Brugada syndrome was admitted to coronary care unit with ventricular fibrillation electrical storm and consequent appropriate recurrent ICD shocks. The rhythm did not settle with conventional antiarrhythmics such as β-blockers and amiodarone. An isoprenaline infusion was set up with immediate stabilisation of rhythm. After a period of monitoring, the infusion was stopped and oral quinidine was started. He has remained free of problems for 1 year. This case-report summarises these novel treatments for electrical storm in Brugada syndrome and the mechanism behind them.
一名因2型Brugada综合征植入心脏复律除颤器(ICD)的3岁男性因室颤电风暴及随后多次适当的ICD电击而入住冠心病监护病房。使用β受体阻滞剂和胺碘酮等传统抗心律失常药物未能使心律稳定。开始静脉输注异丙肾上腺素后心律立即稳定。经过一段时间的监测后,停止输注并开始口服奎尼丁。他在1年内未再出现问题。本病例报告总结了这些针对Brugada综合征电风暴的新治疗方法及其背后的机制。
