Abstract
A 29-year-old professional athlete was referred for cardiac evaluation after a syncope occurring during strenuous exercise.Twelve-lead ECG showed Brugada-like pattern ( fi gure 1 ), but both fl ecainide and genetic tests were negative. ECG Holter and echocardiogram were normal. ECG stress test showed no signifi cant ST-segment changes. A CT scan showed two typical myocardial bridges of the left anterior descending artery, with intramural tracts of 10 mm in the mid-segment and of 15 mm in the distal segmentI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
