Pediatric and elderly patients were more predisposed to developing an arrhythmic event in the setting of fever [7]. Induced Brugada-type electrocardiogram, a sign for imminent malignant arrhythmias. Recently the rate of true arrhythmic events related to fevers in the classic Brugada Type 1 syndrome was explored by Michowitz et al.

Fever not only unmasks a Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) but also increases the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sudden cardiac death. This study references experimental evidence that higher temperature alters Na conduction through the membrane in patients with SNC5A mutation.
