Background Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a channelopathy that can lead to sudden cardiac death in the absence of structural heart disease. The patient did not have underlying diseases. The routine laboratory results, imaging study, coronary angiogram, and echocardiogram (ECG) were normal.

Diamond and Forrester accomplished this by first establishing the prevalence of coronary artery disease based on how clinically likely patients with chest pain symptoms were found to have coronary disease based on a coronary angiogram. The data is overwhelming every way you can possibly look at it.

The left and right coronary arteries were slender and narrow, which was relieved after the injection of 100g nitroglycerine through the left coronary artery. After performing a coronary angiogram, the patient was given long-acting nitrates and calcium channel blockers orally, and her chest pain did not reoccur.
