Abstract
We present the case of an infant admitted to our department for a rapid broad complex tachycardia and cardiovascular collapse. The patient was submitted to genetic testing because of a conduction defect at baseline ECG
and family history of gene mutation. A new
SCN5A gene mutation variant was found leading to diagnosis of
sodium-channel dysfunction arrhythmia.
