Abstract

We report a 25-year-old woman who was diagnosed with atrial septal defect (ASD). An ECG showed only first-degree atrioventricular block and incomplete right bundle branch block. One day after the percutaneous ASD closure, she had a slight fever and an ECG showed a type 1 Brugada pattern. ECG characteristics of ASD are similar to those of a Brugada ECG. This case is rare combination of Brugada syndrome with ASD.
