Article Abstract
This report presents the first case of Brugada pattern complicated by a supraventricular arrhythmia in a child with SARS-CoV-2 related Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). A 7-year-old boy came to our Emergency Department with 7 days of abdominal pain and fever. MIS-C was diagnosed on the basis of the clinical, laboratory and instrumental tests. On admission, ECG showed type 1 Brugada pattern in the right precordial leads. During hospitalization the onset of supraventricular arrhythmias complicated the clinical picture. This case underlines management complexity of supraventricular arrhythmic events, different from atrial fibrillation, in patients with Brugada pattern in the context of a systemic inflammatory condition with significant cardiac involvement. All potential therapeutic choices should be considered to ensure the best outcomes.

Ranolazine-Induced Type 1 Brugada Pattern.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a rare inherited arrhythmia disease carrying a variable risk of sudden cardiac death. Diagnosis requires the type 1 Brugada electrocardiographic pattern, which can either be spontaneous or induced by sodium channel-blocking drugs. Ranolazine is an antianginal drug acting on the late sodium current with emerging antiarrhythmic properties; no information is available on the safety of ranolazine use in patients with BrS.

Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited cardiac arrhythmia disorder primarily characterized by ventricular fibrillation, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. It follows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and is most associated with dysfunction of the cardiac sodium channel Nav1.5.

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac arrhythmic disorder associated with distinctive electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. While the classic BrS ECG pattern is a coved ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, a wide spectrum of atypical ECG presentations can mislead the diagnosis. This review discusses rare and under-recognized ECG findings associated with BrS, including its coexistence with right and left bundle branch block, alterations in peripheral leads and in the morphology of the QRS complex, as well as atrioventricular conduction abnormalities.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy with characteristic electrocardiogram findings that are often mistaken as acute coronary syndrome. Overall, sudden cardiac death and seizures are uncommon initial presentations.
Case Summary: This case describes a patient with an initial presentation of cardiac arrest and seizures due to BrS, both of which are uncommon initial presentations.
