Hyperkalemia mimicking a pattern of Brugada syndrome.

A 70-year-old patient with a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia was receiving treatment with enalapril, simvastatin, and hydrochlorothiazide. He was referred to our hospital for presyncope and suspected acute myocardial infarction in an anterior location. The first electrocardiogram (Fig. 1A) showed a saddlebag-type ST segment elevation in V1 to V3. Echocardiography excluded a segmental w...

Ischemic Brugada phenocopy during ablation of ventricular tachycardia

We examined the report by Hori et al. with specific interest in their description of a Brugada ECG (electrocardiogram) pattern observed during ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) [1]. Their case provides an important contribution to an expanding database of ischemic Brugada phenocopies (BrP) [2,3]. BrP are characterized by ECG patterns identical to those of Brugada syndrome (BrS), but are ...

Brugada-Phenocopy Induced by Propafenone Overdose and Successful Treatment: A Case Report

BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is an inherited arrhythmogenic disease that may cause sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation in young adults. Brugada syndrome caused by propafenone intoxication has been noted rarely in the literature. We report a rare case, Brugada phenocopy due to propafenone intoxication and its treatment. CASE REPORT A 15-year-old girl having a seizure was brough...
