Brugada-type Electrocardiographic Pattern Induced by Fever
ST-segment elevation in Brugada syndrome is caused by a shift in the ionic current balance and the creation of a voltage gradient between the epicardium and the endocardium. This ionic mechanism have been shown to be temperature dependent. We describe a 33-year-old man who presented with fever with the dynamic electrocardiographic changes similar to the Brugada syndrome. These electrocardiograp...
متن کاملBrugada-type Electrocardiographic Pattern Induced by Electrocution
Heart is one of the most frequently affected organs in electrocution. Electrical injury can cause life-threatening cardiac complications such as asystole, ventricular fibrillation, and myocardial rupture. In this case report, we describe a 22-yr-old male patient who sustained electric burn injury and presented with electrocardiogram showing transient Brugada type pattern.
متن کامل[Electrocardiographic findings typical of Brugada syndrome unmasked by cocaine consumption].
Brugada syndrome is characterized by the presence of right bundle branch block on electrocardiography and by ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads (V1-V3), by the absence of structural cardiac abnormalities, and by episodes of syncope or sudden death. On occasion, diagnosis is made difficult by temporary normalization of the ECG. The condition can be unmasked by potent sodium chann...
متن کاملBrugada Pattern Electrocardiogram Unmasked with Cocaine Ingestion
Cocaine is considered a leading cause of drug-related deaths. This is usually sudden, unwitnessed, and without prodromal features. It has been reported that in-hospital mortality is close to 2%. Cocaine has powerful central nervous system effects(1) and acute cocaine overdose has been associated with hyperthermia, agitation, paranoid ideation, status epilepticus, ventricular fibrillation, ventr...
متن کاملBrugada-like electrocardiographic pattern unmasked by fever in a critical care patient.
Sir, Brugada syndrome is a channelopathy associated with right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation in the right precordial leads, V1–V3, in the absence of structural heart abnormalities (1). Mutations in a cardiac sodium channel gene (SCN5A) have been reported as the substrate for the syndrome in some patients (2). Past studies suggested that fever could aggravate the dysfunction of th...
