Brugada pattern unmasked during COVID-19 infection -:A case report

The current pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues affecting millions of people worldwide. Various cardiovascular manifestations have been associated with COVID-19 but only a few case reports of Brugada syndrome in acute respiratory syndrome by SARS-CoV-2 were published. The diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment remain a challenge and represent a concern in terms of management in this population. We describe a case of a 66-year-old patient with COVID-19 presenting a coved type-1 Brugada pattern in electrocardiogram. Drug challenge was performed for the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome and electrophysiological study for risk stratification. <Learning objective: Brugada pattern can be unmasked during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, regardless of fever. Supportive care and avoidance of drugs that may induce Brugada pattern and ventricular arrhythmias can prevent clinical complications in Brugada patients with COVID-19. In asymptomatic patients with suspected Brugada syndrome and a family history of sudden cardiac death, the correct diagnosis and risk stratification may be performed.>.
