Abstract
A 32 year old woman with anorexia nervosa suffered ventricular tachycardia whilst on therapeutic dose amitriptyline despite normal blood tests, imaging and intracardiac recordings. ECGs over several years featured the Type 1 Brugada pattern. Careful ECG monitoring should be made if using high doses of amitriptyline especially in those with low body weight.
