Brugada phenocopy in fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brugada phenocopy (BrP) is a condition that induces reversible Brugada-like electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in patients without true Brugada syndrome. We present two cases of fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis that showed Type 1 Brugada ECG changes in the early phase of the clinical course.

Case summary

Case 1 was a 76-year-old man who developed fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis with ventricular tachycardia while hospitalized for heart failure. Case 2 was a 60-year-old man who presented with cardiogenic shock and was diagnosed with fulminant eosinophilic myocarditis. Both patients showed a Type 1 Brugada ECG at onset, and their ventricular function was greatly reduced. Regarding mechanical circulatory support, Case 1 was treated with venous-arterial extracorpo
