- Bundgaard Syndrome is a rare, dominantly inherited heart condition causing widespread non-ischemic ST-segment depression, increasing risks of arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death.
- First reported case in Turkey: A 41-year-old male presented with chest pain, diffuse ST-segment depression, normal scintigraphy, family history of sudden cardiac death, and slowed left anterior descending artery flow, leading to diagnosis.
- Patient was managed conservatively without an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, emphasizing diagnosis and family screening for early intervention to prevent complications.
- Key takeaway: Consider Bundgaard Syndrome in cases of persistent, diffuse ST-segment depression without ischemia as a potential precursor to malignant arrhythmias.
