Brugada syndrome during physical therapy: a case report.

Cases Journal
Jan Paul M FrölkeJoep Lrm Smeets

Abstract

This case report describes about a young, male patient with persisting syncope during physical therapy for complex regional pain syndrome type 1 after metatarsal fractures.The patient was referred to the Emergency Department, where Brugada syndrome was diagnosed. A cardioverter defibrillator was prophylactically implanted successfully. After this procedure, there were no contraindications for resuming further physical therapy for his painful foot. No clear causal inference with Brugada could be drawn from the complex regional pain syndrome type 1 or physical therapy described in this case report. Hyperthermia may, however, occur during such therapy, which is associated with dysrhythmia in general.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
