Abstract
Brugada syndrome (BS), a life-threatening channelopathy associated with reduced inward sodium current due to dysfunctional sodium channels, is characterized by ST-segment elevation with downsloping “coved type” (type 1) or “saddle back” (type 2) pattern in V1-V3 precordial chest leads (1, 2). Brugada phenocopy, a term describing conditions inducing Brugada-like pattern of electrocardiogram (EKG) manifestations in patients without true BS, is an emerging condition (3). We describe a case series of Brugada phenocopy with hyponatremia.
