Brugada phenocopy in fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis: a case series.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiology, Tsuyama Chuo Hospital, 1756 Kawasaki, Tsuyama, Okayama 708-0841, Japan.
Background: Brugada phenocopy (BrP) is a condition that induces reversible Brugada-like electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in patients without true Brugada syndrome. We present two cases of fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis that showed Type 1 Brugada ECG changes in the early phase of the clinical course.
Case Summary: Case 1 was a 76-year-old man who developed fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis with ventricular tachycardia while hospitalized for heart failure.
Complex mechanism of brugada phenocopy: moderate hyponatremia and right ventricular compression by liver metastatic tumor - case report.

Article Synopsis
- - Brugada phenocopy (BrP) is characterized by a Brugada-like ECG pattern and can occur due to various conditions, but it doesn't increase the risk of serious heart issues like Brugada syndrome (BrS) does.
- - A case is presented of a 69-year-old woman with moderate hyponatremia who exhibited a saddle-back ST-segment elevation on her ECG, which was linked to her liver metastases compressing her heart.
- - The ECG changes resolved quickly after treating her hyponatremia with sodium chloride, demonstrating that even mild electrolyte imbalances can lead to BrP when compounded by other factors like mechanical heart compression.
NaV1.5 autoantibodies in Brugada syndrome: pathogenetic implications.
Eur Heart J

Institute for Molecular and Translational Cardiology (IMTC), IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, Piazza Malan, 2, 20097 San Donato Milanese, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) face dangerous heart rhythm issues, and diagnosing it can be tricky due to atypical ECG patterns and the limited detectability of genetic markers like SCN5A variants.
- A study screened plasma from 50 BrS patients and found that 90% had anti-NaV1.5 autoantibodies, which were absent in 94% of control participants, indicating these autoantibodies could be a reliable diagnostic tool.
- The presence of these autoantibodies not only affects sodium current density but also induces Brugada-like ECG changes in experimental models, suggesting an autoimmune aspect to BrS that should be considered along with genetic factors.
Deceptive Anteroseptal ST-segment Elevation and Brugada Pattern Caused by Isolated Conus Artery Occlusion.

The conus artery (CA) supplies the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). ST-segment elevation in leads V1-3, which can resemble Brugada electrocardiogram (EKG) patterns, has been reported due to occlusion of the CA. A 68-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Brugada phenocopies are conditions that have an electrocardiography (ECG) pattern that mimics typical patterns seen in Brugada syndrome (BS). We report a rare case of a patient who had a Brugada-like ECG pattern caused by ischemia due to strangulation of the septal artery. The patient was treated with thrombolytic therapy after a probable diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), which resulted in hematologic complications.
