Hyperkalemia-induced brugada phenocopy complicated with supraventricular tachycardia: A case report of rare electrocardiogram manifestation

Abstract

In rare clinical cases, hyperkalemia can present with a type 1 Brugada EKG pattern, which correlates with fatal cardiac arrhythmia but could be resolved after hyperkalemia lowering treatment. In this case report, we present a rare EKG manifestation of hyperglycemia induced Brugada phenocopy complicated with supraventricular tachycardia. Early detection and quick diagnose for this kind of EKG presentation is crucial for making prompt and accurate treatment.
