CARLSSON, J., et al. : Possible Role of Epicardial Left Ventricular Programmed Stimulation in Brugada Syndrome. A patient with recurrent syncope due to polymorphic ventricular tachcardia was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. Programmed right ventricular stimulation could not induce arrhythmia. Epicardial stimulation from a left ventricular site through the coronary sinus led to polymorhic VT. The stimulation protocol for risk stratification in Brugada syndrome is discussed.
