Abstract:
Hyperkalaemia is a potentially fatal clinical problem frequently seen in the emergency department (ED). It causes a spectrum of electrocardiogram (ECG) changes such as peaked T-waves, prolonged PR interval, widened QRS complexes, intraventricular/fascicular/bundle branch blocks, etc. Brugada Phenocopy (BrP) is a rare ECG finding seen in severe hyperkalaemia associated with the prevalence of malignant cardiac arrhythmias and all-cause mortality. Unlike Brugada Syndrome (BrS) it is a transient phenomenon and completely resolves with the normalization of hyperkalaemia. Here we report a Brugada Phenocopy (BrP) case observed in a middle-aged male with severe hyperkalaemia.

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.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
