摘要
The Brugada syndrome, a pro-arrhythmogenic repolarization abnormality, is becoming increasingly recognised as a cause of collapse and sudden cardiac death3. We report a case of a 48-year-old man with a tricyclic overdose and a delayed presentation of the Brugada pattern in the ICU This case raises the need for clinicians to be aware of the Brugada pattern and those patients potentially at risk.
