Since its identification in 1981 its diagnosis has increased due to the advancements in cardiac imaging. It’s association with ventricular arrythmia (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) underscores the importance of its identification. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sustained monomorphic VT at a rate of 160 bpm.

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. Twenty-one percent (18 of 88) had a family history of sudden cardiac death and 26.4% (14 of 53) carried a pathogenic SCN5A mutation.
