Brugada phenocopy in diabetic ketoacidosis, the importance of the diagnostic approach

2020

Abstract Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical entities that present with identical ECG patterns to those of true Brugada Syndrome (BrS) but are elicited by various other clinical circumstances. Our manuscript shows an interesting case of a type-1 Class A BrP in a young patient with diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperkalemia.

BRUGADA PATTERN IN HEROIN ADDICTION: SYNDROME OR PHENOCOPY?

2020

Brugada phenocopies (BrPs) are clinical entities that show an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern similar to what is observed in Brugada syndrome (BrS). They are caused by different clinical conditions. We describe a case of BrP in a man that developed acute kidney failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis, after heroin addiction. His initial ECG showed Brugada type 1 pattern resolved after hemodialytic treatment. A provocative test with ajmaline, which resulted negative, was performed to confirm the diagnosis. BrPs can mimic a true BrS and a fast recognition of these clinical and electrocardiographic findings may avoid diagnostic mistakes thus preventing unnecessary or inaccurate treatmen
