Brugada-like early repolarisation pattern associated with acute pericarditis

Abstract

Two cases of acute pericarditis presented with interesting electrocardiograms resembling Brugada-like or early repolarisation patterns. This report emphasises that proper interpretation of the electrocardiogram in patients with ST-segment elevation assists the clinician in arriving at the correct diagnosis in making appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, and also that the saddleback-type ST-segment elevation cannot be a sensitive finding for the Brugada syndrome.

  • CK-MB, creatine kinase-monoclonal band
  • ECG, electrocardiogram
  • RBBB, right bundle branch block
  • ST-SE, ST-segment elevation
