Abstract

Channelopathies are among the major causes of syncope or sudden cardiac death in patients with structurally normal hearts. In these patients, the atrium, ventricle or both could be affected and reveal different presentations. In this case, we present a patient with an apparently structurally normal heart and recurrent syncope, presented as sick sinus syndrome with atrial flutter and bidirectional ventricular tachycardia. (Cardiol J 2007; 14: 585-588).
