Key result
Defibrillation and subsequent AICD implantation successfully treated a 50-year-old man presenting with electrical storm and evolving ECG morphologies due to Brugada Syndrome.
Case Report (n=1)
Brugada Syndrome can present as electrical storm with rapidly changing ECG morphologies, requiring prompt recognition, avoidance of arrhythmogenic drugs, and definitive treatment with an ICD.
Prompt recognition of Brugada electrical storm is essential; this case leaves open generalizability of AICD strategy.
Brugada Syndrome is an uncommon and potentially lethal disease with a high potential for morbidity if not diagnosed and treated early. New findings have changed detection and management. This case report illustrates a presentation of symptomatic dysrhythmia and aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a patient who was found to have Brugada Syndrome (BrS) and demonstrates the presentation of electrical storm and the rapidly changing morphologies of the electrocardiogram (ECG) over time, characteristic of the disease.

Elizabeth Dorn (2015) conducted a case report in Brugada Syndrome (n=1). Defibrillation and AICD implantation was evaluated. Defibrillation and subsequent AICD implantation successfully treated a 50-year-old man presenting with electrical storm and evolving ECG morphologies due to Brugada Syndrome.
