Poster Abstract

Here we present the case of a male in his 70’s who presented with diarrhea and a syncopal episode and was ultimately diagnosed with BRASH syndrome. The acronym BRASH is a novel way to describe the constellation of symptoms that result in unfortunate synergistic affects that can result in profound bradycardia. In the setting of hyperkalemia and concurrent use of atrioventricular nodal blockers, there is potential for a worsening bradycardia and inevitable cardiovascular collapse if not identified.

BRASH Syndrome: A Deadly Pentad of Symptoms
