Abstract

We report a patient with a concealed type of Brugada syndrome. The electrocardiogram in the emergency department revealed atrial fibrillation with an almost normal ST segment. Slight electrocardiogram abnormalities of the J wave and mild ST-segment elevation appeared in the inferolateral leads a few days later. Although the ST segment in the right precordial leads, including that recorded from the high intercostal space recording sites, was completely normal, a drug challenge test using pilsicainide revealed a coved-type ST-segment elevation only in a modified V2 lead placed 1 or 2 intercostal spaces higher.
