Abstract

Brugada phenocopy is a brugada-like pattern in ECG seen in some diseases without an inherited channelopathy. The causes of brugada phenocopy are usually reversible. Once the reversible condition resolves, the ECG pattern disappears. There are many conditions that cause brugada phenocopy like myocardial infarction, hyperkalemia etc. Here we report a case of brugada phenocopy induced by consumption of yellow oleander seeds (T. Peruviana). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
