Abstract
The Brugada syndrome (BrS) was the last electrocardiographic syndrome described in the 20th century. The initial description included right bundle branch block (RBBB), persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, absence of structural heart disease, and propensity to unexplained syncope and/or sudden death mainly during nocturnal rest. Currently, we know that the first three components are not constant or true since RBBB is present in only 28% of cases, the ST-segment elevation is dynamic, at times absent, and there are discrete structural changes in the right ventricular outflow tract. Additionally, the presence of RBBB can hide the typical type 1 Brugada ECG pattern. We present a very unusual case of spontaneous transient RBBB that revealed a hidden type 1 Brugada ECG pattern that could be seen in the beat with normal ventricular conduction.Entities:
