Abstract
Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical entities that have EKG tracings similar to the congenital Brugada syndrome (BrS) but
without ventricular tachyarrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. BrP is caused by various factors such as metabolic disturbances
(electrolyte imbalance), drugs, mechanical compression of the mediastinum, and inflammatory conditions such as myocarditis
or pericarditis. We present a very rare case of a young patient who had a Brugada phenocopy Type 1 suspected to be secondary
to synthetic cannabinoids.
