However, the diagnosis and estimation of risk may be inaccurate based on cardio vascular risk factors, comorbidities and unexpected clinical evolution. We present the case of a 72-year old male patient admitted to the emergency room with an EKG suggestive of the Brugada pattern type I and with syncope after receiving propafenone. We review the controversies regarding the use of implantable cardiac defibrillator
