    Brugada syndrome
    (INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY, 2005) Harikrishnan, S; Dora, SK; Tharakan, JM
    Two siblings with features of Brugada syndrome are reported. One of them had permanent pacemaker implantation elsewhere where he was evaluated for recurrent syncope and diagnosed to have tri-fascicular block. He continued to have syncopal episodes and subsequently detected to have runs of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia picked up on a routine ECG. His sibling also was found to have features of Brugada syndrome. (c) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

    Spontaneous automaticity of an atriofascicular accessory pathway
    (EUROPACE, 2006) Dora, SK; Tharakan, JA; Valaparambil, A; Namboodiri, N; Nair, K; Peter, T
    In a 12-year-old girt with history of recurrent palpitation, an ambulatory 24 h Hotter electrocardiogram showed a wide QRS complex rhythm with atrioventricular dissociation. During an electrophysiology study, an atriofascicular pathway was diagnosed with an inducible antidromic atrioventricutar re-entrant tachycardia. At slower heart rates, the patient had a wide QRS complex escape rhythm similar to the tachycardia and the pre-excited QRS complex morphology. This indicates the presence of pacemaker-like cells in the atriofascicular accessory pathway giving rise to the wide QRS complex escape rhythm at a slower heart rate.
