Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an illness that was sudden, unexpected, and global. Primarily a disease of the vascular endothelium, the virus threatens all of core systems, as well as behavioral and mental health, during the acute and long-term phases. Attention is now being given to the identification and care of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19. This article presents the case of a "long hauler" who presented post-cardiac arrest with a history of COVID-19. Diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, his assessment, diagnosis, and care are discussed. In addition, the need for early identification and care for patients with post-COVID-19 symptoms is addressed.

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic channelopathy that may predispose to ventricular arrhythmia. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant pattern with incomplete penetrance. Fever can unmask Brugada syndrome in children who have a genetic predisposition.

Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited channelopathy characterized by right precordial ST-segment elevation. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with BrS in Hong Kong.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at the only tertiary pediatric cardiology center in Hong Kong from 2002 to 2022, including all pediatric BrS patients under 18 years old.

ECG in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is characterized by a ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. Overlap between ST-segment changes in BrS and ischemia may lead to diagnostic challenges. We report a case of a male patient presented with recurrent chest pain episodes and ST elevation in the right precordial leads consistent with Brugada ECG pattern type 1 and was clinically diagnosed with BrS at the age of 30 years.

Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring remains crucial during surgery in infants and children. Although generally uncommon in pediatric-aged patients, ECG changes may occasionally be indicative of a variety of myocardial pathologies including anomalous origin of coronary arteries, ventricular hypertrophy, myocarditis, hypothermia, drug effects, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base disturbances or conduction system disorders such as Wolff-Parkinson-White and Brugada syndrome. Distinguishing between pathologic and non-pathologic conditions impacting the ECG must be considered so that appropriate interventions are provided to prevent perioperative morbidity and mortality.
