Abstract

A 71-year old male with a history of inferior myocardial infarction and hypertension underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. He had no family or personal history of syncope, sudden cardiac death or Brugada syndrome. A series of twelve-lead electrocardiograms showed type 1 and type 2 Brugada ECG patterns after procedure, but resolution of ST segment changes to five days later. The electrophysiological mechanisms underlying these changes will be discussed.
