Europace. 2007 Jun;9(6):398-400. doi: 10.1093/europace/eum052. Epub 2007 Apr 13.

Abstract

In acute cardiac care, prompt diagnosis and management is mandatory. The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains a crucial investigation in the management of ischemic heart disease and arrhythmias. A case is discussed, where the ECG changes caused by the Brugada syndrome and those caused by ischemia, aggravated by myocardial bridging, intertwine.
