A Case of Type I and II Brugada Phenocopy Unmasked in a Patient with Normal Baseline Electrocardiogram (ECG)
BACKGROUND Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram (ECG) is seen when there are at least 2 mm J-point elevation and 1 mm ST-segment elevation in two or more of the right precordial leads, with right bundle-branch block (RBBB)-like morphology. Elevation of a coved-type shape in leads V1 and V2 is consistent with type I Brugada pattern, whereas elevation of a saddle-back configuration distinguishes ...
متن کاملBrugada phenocopy in a patient with acute pulmonary embolism presenting with recurrent syncope
Brugada phenocopy (BrP) refers to a group of clinical conditions that have etiologies distinct from Brugada syndrome (BrS). Although both demonstrate features of ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads on the electrocardiogram (ECG), one must be distinguished from the other as their treatment options are different. We report a male patient who presented with recurrent syncope with a ...
متن کاملExpert cardiologists cannot distinguish between Brugada phenocopy and Brugada syndrome electrocardiogram patterns.
AIMS Brugada phenocopies (BrPs) are electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns that are identical to true Brugada syndrome (BrS) but are induced by various clinical conditions. The concept that both ECG patterns are visually identical has not been formally demonstrated. The aim of our study was to determine if experts on BrS were able to accurately distinguish between the BrS and BrP ECG patterns. METH...
متن کاملIschemic 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 ...
متن کاملBrugada-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...
