Elevation of ST After Successful Primary PCI with Acute Myocardial Infarction Patient: Hyperkalemia Induced Brugada Phenocopy

Abstract The common reason of ST re-elevation after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 hours is thrombosis in stent. However, not all ST re-elevations are caused by thrombosis, several clinical conditions other than Brugada syndrome can mimic acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Brugada phenocopies are a part of those conditions that can mimic either true Brugada syndrome or acute myocardial infarction. It is important for physicans to identify these electrocardiogram changes and avoid inappropriate therapy.
