ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Several agents and conditions have been reported to unmask or accentuate the electrocardiographic pattern of Brugada syndrome including fever. At a molecular level, sodium channels have been showed to be temperature dependent. Herein, we describe a case of Brugada electrocardiographic pattern unmasked during febrile state and marked leukocytosis.
