Figure 2 A, Electrocardiograms showing ventricular tachycardia initiated during procainamide infusion and the type I Brugada electrocardiographic pattern after termination. B, Electrocardiograms showing initiation and spontaneous termination of ventricular tachycardia. Tachycardia was initiated with double extrastimuli. BPM = beats/min.

Figure 3 Ictal electroencephalographic recording, longitudinal bipolar montage. The ictal activity begins as a rhythmic discharge in 2 left frontal derivations (time scale, 30:44). It quickly spreads to the parietal cortex bilaterally (time scale, 30:52). Later, slow activity is maximal over most of the left hemisphere, and less abnormal theta activity dominates over the remaining cortex (time scale, 31:01). Note that the amplification changes from the upper to the lower panel.
