Key result
Treatment of multiple underlying causes resolved the transient Brugada pattern without the need for further long-term interventions.
Why the study?
A Brugada pattern can be triggered by underlying agents or causes, and this case illustrates electrocardiographic Brugada findings induced by multiple factors that resolved with treatment of the causes.
Case Report (n=1)
Transient Brugada patterns can be provoked by underlying reversible factors, and treating these can avoid unnecessary long-term interventions.
Treating reversible triggers may resolve transient Brugada patterns and avoid unnecessary interventions; leaves open generalizability beyond isolated cases.
Brugada syndrome is a known electrophysiological phenomenon associated with high risk of sudden cardiac death. However, there are a number of published case reports showing a Brugada pattern in patients due to an underlying agent or cause. This case provides the nearly ideal clinical setup for a patient presenting with electrocardiographic findings of Brugada due to multiple factors requiring treatment of the underlying causes without need for further long term interventions.

Chang et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Transient Brugada Pattern (n=1). Treatment of underlying causes was evaluated on Resolution of Brugada pattern. Treatment of multiple underlying causes resolved the transient Brugada pattern without the need for further long-term interventions.
