Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a congenital channelopathy associated with the development of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of BrS is made based on Brugada ECG pattern and clinical history. Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical entities that are characterized by ECG patterns identical to those of BrS but arise from different underlying conditions such as metabolic abnormalities, myocardial ischemia and mechanical compression. Distinction between the two is important because BrS requires investigations for risk stratification whereas BrP requires appropriate treatment for the underlying conditions. In the present review, we summarized the current data in the literature, systematic diagnostic approach, gaps in the literature and future perspective on BrP.

Keywords: Brugada phenocopy, Brugada syndrome; electrocardiography.
