Hyperkalemia induced Brugada phenocopy

J Arrhythm. 2021 Jan 7;37(1):249-250. doi: 10.1002/joa3.12498. eCollection 2021 Feb.

Abstract

We illustrate the case Brugada Type 1 pattern on electrocardiogram in a setting of hyperkalemia, changes which were reversible following normalization of serum potassium levels. Although Brugada Type 1 syndrome is associated with sudden cardiac death, a quick search for alternate reversible pathology is essential to timely management and avoid unnecessary cardiac intervention.

Keywords: brugada phenocopy; hyperkalemia.
