Abstract

We present an interesting case and images of a patient with identified as having Brugada syndrome due to dynamic electrocardiographic (ECG) changes seen during high-grade fever in the context of an associated COVID-19 infection. We show serial ECGs demonstrating dynamic but unusual change from a Brugada Type-1 to a non-Type-1 Brugada pattern, then ultimately having ECG normalisation once the fever had been corrected with antipyretic medication. This case and set of images illustrate how ECG was helpful in successfully identifying a COVID-19 patient with underlying Brugada syndrome, thus enabling simple but appropriate management and risk-stratification.
