Article Abstract
The role of hormonal changes during pregnancy in Brugada syndrome is unknown. Only rare case reports of Brugada syndrome during pregnancy have been published. In this article, we describe a patient with first clinical manifestation of Brugada syndrome during pregnancy. The definitive diagnosis could only be achieved by drug challenge with ajmaline after childbirth because the spontaneous typical Brugada-like pattern was absent. Elevated hormone levels during pregnancy may increase the risk for arrhythmias in particular cases.
