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.

Background: Young (<18 years of age) patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) are often under-represented in BrS studies and their management, especially related to syncopal episodes, remains unclear.
Objectives: This study sought to describe the arrhythmia prevalence among young patients with BrS undergoing continuous rhythm monitoring by implantable loop recorder (ILR) and to assess the etiology behind syncope of undetermined origin.
Methods: A total of 147 patients with BrS with ILR were enrolled in 12 international centers and divided into pediatric (age <12 years; n = 77, 52%) and adolescents (age 13-18 years; n = 70, 48%).
Brugada Phenotype Following a Cocaine Overdose.

Emergency Medicine, ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital, Monroe, USA.
Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac condition characterized by distinctive electrocardiogram patterns, predisposing individuals to fatal arrhythmias. While primarily linked to a loss-of-function mutation in the SCN5A gene, acquired forms of the syndrome have been associated with various factors, including drug use. We present a case of a 31-year-old female who presented to the emergency department unresponsive following cocaine use and developed type 1 Brugada ECG patterns alongside an incomplete right bundle branch block in V1-V3, ST elevations with biphasic waves, and diffuse repolarization abnormalities with J point deviations while in the intensive care unit.

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.

Cardiology Department, Hospital Universitari Doctor Josep Trueta, Girona, Spain.
Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH), in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome, is a rare type of cardiac rupture. However, the best treatment for IDH in each clinical scenario is not clearly defined. We present a case in which the best approach for IDH and its final outcome are discussed.
