The putative role of [[lithium]] has been suggested in so far as withdrawal of [[lithium]] results in either 1) normalization of the ECG or 2) conversion of the Brugada pattern to type 2 or 3. The appearance of Brugada type EKG patterns does not require toxic [[lithium]] levels. | |||

Overview

Lithium Treatment and Brugada Syndrome
Administration of Lithium can result in EKG manifestations of the Brugada syndrome. [1][2]. Syncope and sudden cardiac death have been observed in these patients.[3] The putative role of lithium has been suggested in so far as withdrawal of lithium results in either 1) normalization of the ECG or 2) conversion of the Brugada pattern to type 2 or 3. The appearance of Brugada type EKG patterns does not require toxic lithium levels.
