This case report highlights the rare coexistence of Brugada syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, demonstrating successful management of WPW with radiofrequency ablation without symptom recurrence over 2 years.
Supports WPW ablation in rare Brugada coexistence; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
The coexistence of Brugada syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a very rare phenomenon. We describe a 31-year-old patient without any previous cardiac disorder admitted to our hospital due to palpitations and concomitantly diagnosed as WPW syndrome and treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. He was later diagnosed with Brugada syndrome and followed-up 2 years without any symptoms. We discuss other previously reported cases in literature, in which these two conditions exist simultaneously.
