DiscussionThis is the first report of a patient with idiopathic VF in whom the response of J waves to propranolol, verapamil, isoproterenol, procainamide, disopyramide, and atrial pacing could be evaluated. A Japanese male patient with Brugada syndrome, who showed a prominent J wave in many leads similar to our case, has been previously reported. 5 However, our case is distinguished from Brugada syndrome, as no J point or ST elevation was induced in leads V 1 through V 3 by infusion of sodium channel blockers, including procainamide and disopyramide. Prominence of the J wave and resultant VF were bradycardia dependent. The J wave and VF was eliminated by cilostazol.
