Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic cardiac syndrome first described in 1992 that is characterized by distinct abnormalities noted in leads V1 and V2 on electrocardiogram. It often leads to syncope or even sudden death in affected patients due to its propensity for ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. The characteristic ST elevation seen in these patients can be confused with ischemic ST elevation. We present a case where a febrile illness unmasked BS and the ST changes seen were believed to be ischemic.
Brugada综合征(BS)是一种遗传性心脏综合征,于1992年首次被描述,其特征是心电图V1和V2导联出现明显异常。由于其易引发室性心动过速和颤动,该病常导致受影响患者晕厥甚至猝死。这些患者中出现的特征性ST段抬高可能会与缺血性ST段抬高相混淆。我们报告一例因发热性疾病而暴露的Brugada综合征病例,所观察到的ST段变化被认为是缺血性的。
