Key result
Hemodialysis induced a transient Brugada electrocardiogram pattern in an asymptomatic 64-year-old woman with renal failure.
Why the study?
Differentiating Brugada phenocopy from genuine Brugada syndrome is necessary to achieve appropriate treatment, as underlying clinical disorders or hemodialysis can provoke or alter ECG patterns.
Case Report (n=1)
Hemodialysis can provoke a transient Brugada phenocopy ECG pattern in patients with renal failure, which must be distinguished from true Brugada syndrome.
Requires differentiation of post-hemodialysis Brugada pattern from true syndrome; leaves open its prevalence and prognostic significance.
Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical commodities that are etiologically distinguishable from genuine congenital Brugada syndrome. BrP is marked by type-1 or type-2 Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns in precordial V1 to V3, which is provoked by various underlying clinical disorders. Hemodialysis may improve the BrP ECG image. This case report describes the occurrence of a transient Brugada pattern that was seen on the ECG of an asymptomatic 64-years-old woman after administering hemodialysis due to renal failure. Diagnosis of Brugada phenocopy and BrS is necessary to achieve appropriate further treatment. Hemodialysis may improve the BrP ECG image.
