(FIT)-Module 1, Workshop 1: Electrocardiographic/Electrophysiologic Correlation-London Case 10 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A nine-year-old boy, carrying a pathogenic mutation in SCN5A, presents with a fever and cough. His electrocardiograms suggest Brugada syndrome, and a fever exacerbates the ECG findings. The appropriate management involves treating the fever with Tylenol and considering hospital admission for monitoring. Options include treating the ECG changes with quinidine and discharging him if the ECG normalizes. Monitoring and addressing potential cardiac risks are crucial due to his genetic predisposition and symptoms suggestive of Brugada syndrome.
