Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia syndrome characterized by right bundle branch block and dynamic ST-segment changes in precordial leads V1-V3. In patients with BrS, fever is a known trigger that may induce arrhythmia. For patients with BrS who contract coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the inflammatory response poses the risk of causing ventricular arrhythmias. The following case discusses the management of a patient with BrS presenting with electrical storm after contracting COVID-19. Treatment should be focused on aggressive anti-pyretic management along with concomitant pharmacological therapy.
布加综合征(BrS)是一种遗传性心律失常综合征,其特征为右束支传导阻滞及胸前导联V1-V3动态ST段改变。在布加综合征患者中,发热是已知的可诱发心律失常的触发因素。对于感染2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的布加综合征患者,炎症反应有引发室性心律失常的风险。以下病例讨论了一名感染COVID-19后出现电风暴的布加综合征患者的治疗。治疗应侧重于积极的退热治疗及同时进行的药物治疗。
