Key result
Acute anterior MI can elicit a dynamic Brugada phenocopy ECG pattern mimicking true Brugada syndrome.
Highlights the occurrence of Brugada phenocopy during acute anterior myocardial infarction and the importance of differential diagnosis with true Brugada syndrome.
Warrants caution against misdiagnosing Brugada syndrome during acute anterior MI; leaves open the prognostic significance of this phenocopy.
Brugada phenocopies represent some unusual clinical cases with identical characteristics to Brugada syndrome (BrS) elicited by various clinical circumstances. We report the case of a woman exhibiting "Brugada Phenocopy" during an acute anterior myocardial infarction, highlighting differential diagnosis with true BrS and discussing possible mechanisms underlying its dynamic ECG pattern.
