Abstract:
Brugada Syndrome and Ketamine Overdose. A 31-year-old man was referred for ketamine overdose. He presented initially with transient major Brugada ECG pattern. Complete investigation led to the diagnosis of slowly resolvent toxic myocarditis. Brugada-like ECG was suspected to be caused by the ketamine intoxication in this case.

Cardiac Action Potential
The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.
