Type 1 electrocardiographic Brugada pattern in a woman with Chagas disease: a case report

Europace. 2010 Sep;12(9):1345-6. doi: 10.1093/europace/euq129. Epub 2010 May 13.

Abstract

A 56-year-old woman with well-documented Chagas disease was found to have a spontaneous type 1 electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of Brugada syndrome. It is most likely that this characteristic ST-segment elevation is an unusual manifestation of the pathological changes in Chagas disease. This ECG pattern has been found with other cardiac pathology and has been reported to be induced in patients with Chagas disease.
