Abstract

The Brugada syndrome refers to atypical right bundle branch block pattern in the electrocardiogram occurring as familial tendency and the pattern is associated with sudden death. The same electrocardiographic pattern can occur in patients with intoxication by various agents. Tricyclic antidepressant poisoning is a known cause of this pattern. We hereby report a case where the Brugada pattern of ECG was seen in a young male patient with aluminium phosphide poisoning. The changes reverted back to normal after successful treatment.
