Brugada Syndrome Caused by Autonomic Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis by Michel Ibrahim, Garly Saint-Croix, Rosario Colombo

“…Only one case report has previously described a patient with multiple sclerosis and a type 1 Brugada pattern on the electrocardiogram. Patients with multiple sclerosis have several neurological deficits including sensory symptoms, acute or subacute motor weakness, gait disturbance, and balance problems that may lead to an increased risk of falls. …”

Mitoxantrone and acquired Long-QT Syndrome. Case presentation. by Brandy Viera Valdés, Lázaro Enrique De la Cruz Aviléz

“…We report a patient with diagnosis of leukaemia who was treated with mitoxantrone and presented syncope. The electrocardiogram showed an interval QTc of 576 ms. After an exclusion diagnosis we concluded that there could be an association with the use of this drug caused by its toxic effects for the cardiac system. …”
