Characteristics

• Characterized by a coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads
• The Brugada ECG is often concealed, but can be unmasked or modulated by a number of drugs and pathophysiological states including sodium channel blockers, a febrile state, vagotonic agents, tricyclic antidepressants, as well as cocaine and Propranolol intoxication.
