Abstract
Bradycardia, renal failure, atrioventricular nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia (BRASH) syndrome is a rare medical phenomenon, with only approximately 70 reported cases, carrying a mortality of 5.7%.1,2 Presentation is variable, but it can range from asymptomatic bradycardia to multisystem organ failure.3 The unique pathophysiology of BRASH syndrome involves synergy between atrioventricular nodal blocking agents and hyperkalemia, leading to severe bradycardia and renal malperfusion. Here, we present a case of a 66-year-old female patient who was found to fit the clinical picture of BRASH syndrome, in whom the prompt diagnosis and intervention led to a positive outcome.
