J-wave disappearance immediately after an episode of ventricular fibrillation in a patient with resuscitated sudden cardiac death and Brugada syndrome

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. 2010 Dec;21(12):1413-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8167.2010.01791.x.

Abstract

Early repolarization (ER) abnormalities in the inferior-lateral leads are a matter of intense scientific debate because of their demonstrated association with Brugada syndrome (BS) and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). To add fuel to the fire, we present a case in which ER abnormalities are associated with BS but in which, more importantly, they were shown to be transient and strictly correlated with an episode of VF.
