BRASH syndrome is characterized by bradycardia, renal failure, AV nodal blockade, shock, and hyperkalemia. The proposed mechanism involves a vicious cycle between AV nodal blockers, hyperkalemia, and renal failure and was first described in 2016. We present a case of a 52-year-old woman who presented with progressively worsening shortness of breath and hypertensive urgency who subsequently developed profound bradycardia and shock that was refractory to resuscitative measures, she was diagnosed with BRASH syndrome. In this article, we explore the predisposing factors and challenges faced during the management of patients with BRASH syndrome.
