| pubmed-article:20345624 | pubmed:abstractText | Premature ventricular complexes (PVC) falling after the end of the T wave triggered ventricular fibrillation (VF) at night and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MVT) during daytime, in a recipient of implantable cardioverter defibrillator with Brugada syndrome. Treatment with bepridil (1) decreased the height of ST segment elevation in leads V1-V3, (2) completely eliminated VF, and (3) markedly decreased the incidence of PVC and MVT. Albeit rare, VF can be triggered by late-coupled PVC, due to a mechanism other than phase 2 reentry in some patients with Brugada syndrome. | lld:pubmed |
