Key result
Multidisciplinary medical management successfully resolves BRASH syndrome in an elderly male.
Why the study?
BRASH syndrome is a rare, life-threatening condition posing diagnostic and management challenges, highlighting the need for increased awareness, particularly in an aging population.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the importance of early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach in managing BRASH syndrome, a rare but life-threatening condition involving bradycardia, renal failure, AV nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia.
Multidisciplinary care may aid BRASH syndrome management; leaves open need for prospective studies before practice change.
BRASH syndrome, characterized by bradycardia, renal dysfunction, atrioventricular (AV) nodal blockage, shock, and hyperkalemia, is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition resulting from the interplay between AV nodal blockers and hyperkalemia. This complex syndrome poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management, with patients often presenting with bradycardia and high potassium levels. This case report highlights the need for increased awareness of BRASH syndrome, especially in an aging population and evolving cardiovascular treatments. Early recognition and a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach are crucial for improving outcomes in affected patients.

Hussain et al. (2023) conducted a case report in BRASH syndrome (n=1). Multidisciplinary medical management was evaluated on Clinical recovery. A 77-year-old male presenting with BRASH syndrome, characterized by bradycardia, acute kidney injury, and hyperkalemia, was successfully managed with a multidisciplinary medical approach.
