There is increasing evidence that early repolarization or J-wave in the inferolateral leads is associated with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death [1]. Mutations in ATP-sensitive potassium channel gene KCNJ8 and L-type calcium channel genes including CACNA1C, CACNB2B, and CACNA2D1 have been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation with early repolarization [2, 3]. Furthermore, we have recently identified mutations in SCN5A, which encodes the predominant cardiac sodium channel α subunit, in patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation who had early repolarization in the inferior leads and right precordial leads [4]. Mutations in SCN5A have also been associated with cardiomyopathy and concealed myocardial abnormalities [5–7]. Here, we describe a case with a mutation in SCN5A who had early repolarization in the inferior leads but not in the right precordial leads, ventricular fibrillation, and structural myocardial alteration.
