Key result
Hematologic myocardial involvement can manifest with Brugada-like ST-segment abnormalities on ECG.
Why the study?
Brugada-like ST-segment abnormalities may be associated with myocardial involvement in hematologic disorders, but their clinical significance and origins are not well described.

May signal hematologic myocarditis in Brugada-like ECG; leaves open prevalence, mechanisms, and management implications.
This is a report of Brugada-like ST-segment abnormalities related to acute myocarditis associated with hematologic disorders. Electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads mimicking Brugada syndrome may relate to pathological abnormalities due to hematologic disorders that may have genetic, infective, or inflammatory origins. We describe two cases of myocardial involvement of hemotologic disorders, manifested with Brugada-like ECG findings.

Kim et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Brugada-like ST-segment abnormalities related to acute myocarditis associated with hematologic disorders (n=2). Myocardial involvement of hematologic disorders was evaluated on Brugada-like ECG findings. Myocardial involvement of hematologic disorders can manifest with Brugada-like ST-segment abnormalities on electrocardiogram.
