Automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy is considered the only effective treatment for high-risk patients with Brugada syndrome. Quinidine depresses I(to) current, which may play an important role in the arrhythmogenesis of this disease. The effects of quinidine bisulfate (mean dose, 1483+/-240
