Editor's Notes
- Polymorphic VT
- SE Asia- problem has been know for decades. In Thailand, it is called Lai Tai (death during sleep)
- May be a higher percentage due to unfamiliarity with disease- “you see only what you look for- you recognize only what you know”
- Causes of EKG variance
- Confirms diagnosis of Brugada syndrome, and pt can be treated accordingly.
- Hopefully, more and more will be discovered about this condition, so we can identify the patients at risk and get them the treatment they need.
