Near-miss SIDS due to Brugada syndrome

Abstract excerpt

A 19 day old infant was successfully resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation. The 12 lead ECG was normal, with a normal QT interval, and remains so over three years follow up. DNA analysis revealed a missense mutation (R1193Q) in the SCN5A gene, previously linked with familial sudden unexpected nocturnal death syndrome, also known as Brugada syndrome.
