CHINUSHI, M., et al. : Induction of Ventricular Fibrillation in Brugada Syndrome by Site‐Specific Right Ventricular Premature Depolarization. This patient was a 50‐year‐old man. Oral pilsicainide unmasked a Brugada‐type ECG abnormality and self‐terminating polymorphic VT was repetitively induced. The polymorphic VT always developed following a specific ventricular premature complex showing a left bundle branch block pattern suggesting a limited origin in the right ventricle.
