Key result
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis triggers acquired Brugada-pattern ECG without underlying genetic channelopathy.
Why the study?
Several medications and disease states may induce a Brugada-pattern ECG, but whether these patients are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias is uncertain.
Population
51-year-old man with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and Brugada-pattern ECG

Brugada-pattern ECG may occur in thyrotoxic periodic paralysis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

No
This case report highlights that thyrotoxic periodic paralysis can induce a Brugada-pattern ECG in the absence of genetically determined Brugada syndrome.
Tsai et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis and Brugada-pattern ECG (n=1). Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis was evaluated. A 51-year-old man with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis presented with a Brugada-pattern ECG without evidence of genetically determined Brugada syndrome.
