Abstract
Sodium Block‐Induced ST Segment Elevation. Three patients in whom Class IC sodium channel blockers induced ST segment elevation in leads V1 through V3 are described. The underlying electrophysiologic mechanism, implications for drug‐induced proarrhythmia, and the relationship of the finding to the Brugada syndrome type of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation are discussed.Keywords
