ABSTRACT
An exercise-induced idiopathic Brugada electrocardiographic pattern during the effort phase is very rare. A 42-year-old male visited our cardiology clinic for chest discomfort. He has been treated for myocardial infarction 2 months ago. He underwent a treadmill test according to the Bruce protocol. Typical coved-type ST-segment elevation was found during the effort phase, and it gradually recovered after the exercise. The ST-segment elevation appeared to be unrelated to hypervagotonia. This elevation was not induced by a pharmacological test with flecainide. A significant ventricular arrhythmia was not induced by programmed ventricular stimulation. Hence, we discharged the patient without implantation of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
