Fever and sudden death, a reality: illustrative case report
Fiebre y muerte súbita, una realidad: caso clínico ilustrativo
Abstract
The connection between fever and sudden death due to ventricular tachycardia has been usually reported in Brugada Syndrome. However the thermosensitive effects caused by fever have been recently described as a possible cause of sudden death in congenital long QT type II syndrome and in idiopathic ventricular fibrillation syndrome. We present a case where fever unmasked a congenital long QT type II syndrome.
