Brugada-like electrocardiographic pattern in a patient with a mediastinal tumor

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 1999 Aug;22(8):1264-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.1999.tb00613.x.

Abstract

We report on a patient with a mediastinal tumor and electrocardiographic findings similar to those described in the Brugada syndrome. This peculiar ECG pattern disappeared after tumor removal, thus suggesting it was probably caused by compression of the right ventricular outflow tract by the mass.
