A case of cardiac sarcoidosis mimicking Brugada syndrome

A 17-year-old boy was admitted for management of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with intermittent Brugada pattern on ECG. On evaluation, cardiac MRI revealed myocardial scar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan showed inflammation in the heart, lung...

description A 17-year-old boy was admitted for management of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with intermittent Brugada pattern on ECG. On evaluation, cardiac MRI revealed myocardial scar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan showed inflammation in the heart, lungs, and lymph nodes. He was diagnosed as a case of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and treated with steroids. However, there was a reactivation of cardiac inflammation and the development of a second VF storm. Following catheter ablation, the patient's arrhythmia improved. This report highlights the inflammation due to CS mimicking channelopathic features.
