Abstract
Brugada syndrome (BRS) is a channelopathy with three characteristic electrocardiogram patterns and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in the absence of gross structural heart disease. Fever is shown to precipitate ventricular arrhythmias in patients with BRS. Here, we report a rare case of Brugada pattern in a patient with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) without fever. A baseline ECG should be considered for patients with COVID-19, even in the absence of fever. COVID-19 by itself may be a factor that can induce Brugada pattern ECGs.
