This ionic mechanism have been shown to be temperature dependent. We describe a 33-year-old man who presented with fever with the dynamic electrocardiographic changes similar to the Brugada syndrome. These electrocardiographic anomalies disappeared when the temperature returned to normal. %N 2 %K Brugada syndrome; Fever %P 146-148 %E Balbir Singh %E Yash Lokhandwala %E Johnson Francis %E Anup Gupta %V 5 %D 2005 %I Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Group %L cogprints4224
