Cite This Study
Allocca et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Brugada syndrome with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Electrical cardioversion was evaluated. A 20-year-old judoka with atypical Brugada syndrome presented with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia that was successfully restored to sinus rhythm following electrical cardioversion.
