CMR revealed signs of cardiac inflammation. An endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. Polymorphic VT was induced during an electrophysiological study, and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was implanted. An Ajmaline provocation test confirmed Brugada syndrome (BrS).

Abstract Introduction Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac channelopathy characterized by QT prolongation and a potential for arrhythmic syncope, sudden cardiac arrest or deaths (SCA/SCD). It has been speculated that patients with LQTS might have a primary sinoatrial node (SAN) phenotype of chronotropic insufficiency (CI).
