Febrile illness unmasked typical electrocardiographic changes of Brugada syndrome in a healthy young man due to temperature-dependent ionic mechanisms.
Febrile illness can unmask the electrocardiographic phenotype of Brugada syndrome, highlighting the temperature dependence of its underlying ionic mechanisms.
Fever may unmask Brugada ECG pattern; supports temperature-dependent mechanisms but remains hypothesis-generating from a single case.
KUM, L.C.C., et al. : Brugada Syndrome Unmasked By Febrile Illness. The ionic mechanisms responsible for the electrocardiographic phenotype of the Brugada syndrome are temperature dependent. This report describes a healthy young man with ECG changes typical of Brugada syndrome that were unmasked during a febrile illness.
