Brugada type 1 electrocardiographic pattern unmasked by dengue fever: A case series

Abstract

Brugada-type electrocardiographic pattern (BTEP) is caused by inherited sodium channelopathy of the cardiomyocyte which can be augmented in fever. We are reporting the first case series of BTEP unmasked by dengue fever in Malaysia. Detecting BTEP is crucial in regions where both dengue fever and Brugada syndrome is prevalent.
