ABSTRACT

Brugada phenocopies are an electrocardiographic pattern with the same morphologhy as the Brugada Synrome type 1 and 2 pattern, in patients with metabolic, ischemic and/or mechanical alterations.
This is a 74-year-old patient with a history of Arterial Hypertension, who is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19. He presents mixed acidosis, severe hypoxemia and hyperkalemia and in twelve-lead electrocardiogram a Brugada type 1 pattern (coved).
Metabolic disorders, myocardial damage, and ventilation/perfusion alterations in the context of a seriuos infection due to COVID-19 would be the mechanisms responsible for this electrocardiographic pattern in these patient.
