Abstract
The beneficial effects of quinidine on ST-segment elevation, inducible ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia have been reported in Brugada syndrome. This is the first report describing quinidine-induced elimination of the late potential, which is considered one of the parameters for an arrhythmic event, in a patient with Brugada syndrome.
