Looks a bit brugadaish to me. Greetings to the list from niseko japan P Sent from my iPod On 03/01/2009, at 4:52 PM, "Dror Lederman" <dror.lederman@...> ...
It does look quite a bit like Brugada. If it were an older person with chest pain, I'd say it was an incomplete RBBB with anterior STEMI, but given the...
It is a near normal EKG, though there are inferior Q waves which could be due to old inferior MI. There is no acute ischemia or injury evident on this EKG....
Kawasaki's is a great thought. And the kid wouldn't have necessarily had the rash and fever recently. The coronary anuerysm may have developed months ago,...
She was on aggrenox... orthostatic BPs would be interesting. Enroute she complained of RLQ abdominal pain, clearly distressed enough to get through a language...

One other thought I had about this EKG is that if the child had hypertrophic CM, he could have had extensive myocardial bridging, which occaisonally can cause...
