Brugada syndrome (BS) is a hereditary cardiac disease leading to sudden cardiac death. It does not display any structural cardiac abnormalities. It was first described in 1992, as the syndrome of 'right bundle branch block, persistent ST segment elevation, and sudden death.' Brugada phenocopy (BP) is a relatively new term used to describe electroca...

... random blood sugar (RBS) was 5.6 mmol/L. His ECG was done that showed high take-off of ST segment elevation in V2 with J wave amplitude of more than 2 mm and gradually descending ST segment elevation of more than 1 mm above baseline meeting criteria for type 2 Brugada pattern (Figures 1-2) [9]. His phenytoin level was done 8 h from the loading dose which was 127.6 umol/L (therapeutic range: 40-79 umol/L). ...

Brugada syndrome is a rare genetic disorder of the cardiac sodium channels associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is characterized by an electrocardiogram (EKG) showing a right bundle branch block with an elevation in the ST segment. This condition is associated with mutations in several pathologic genes including the most no...
