COVID-19-induced Brugada phenocopy pattern in a patient with previous myocardial infarction: A case report
This case highlights the importance of considering fever-induced Brugada phenocopy in the differential diagnosis of ST-segment elevation in patients with coronary artery disease. Careful ECG analysis, including assessment of the β-angle and r'-wave morphology, is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Initial management should focus on controlling triggering factors such as fever with antipyretics and antivirals to prevent malignant arrhythmias.
