Hey guys, an intern in my group ran into a really intersting case today. I've removed all ID'ing information and wanted to see what you thought..... The patient is a 27 y/o M with reported heavy cocaine use over the years. He takes (2) Adderall XR 20 MG's everyday (40mg/day). This guy was told to follow up but never did. I'm having a hard time seeing what's wrong with his EKG.
Thanks for your time 🙂

Nothing specific wrong with it... sinus arrhythmia and early repol. Young active males commonly have this kind of thing. It's your ekg isn't it, OP?

Hopefully you'll learn not to trust these once you start your clinical years.

Yeah but I mean he was acting like he has absolutely no idea what's going on here. But yes you're right you shouldn't rely on the computer interpretation.

Anyway the guys in the EM forum seem to think the ECG looks like Brugada syndrome. (Not sure why he cross posted it here, EM and cardiology)
