Abstract
Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is a genetic condition characterized by specific electrocardiographic (ECG) findings and an increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. Brugada phenocopy (BrP) refers to reversible ECG changes mimicking BrS caused by external factors, such as drugs or metabolic disturbances. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old male with Brugada phenocopy due to high-dose of fentanyl transdermal patch.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
