--- abstract: "ST-segment elevation in Brugada syndrome is caused by a shift in the ionic current balance and the creation of a voltage gradient between the epicardium and the endocardium. 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" altloc: - http://www.ipej.org/0502/ozeke.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Ozeke given: Ozcan honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Aras given: Dursun honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Geyik given: Bilal honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Deveci given: Bulent honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Selcuk given: Timur honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2005-04 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-04-16 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/42/24 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Singh given: Balbir honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lokhandwala given: Yash honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Francis given: Johnson honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Gupta given: Anup honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4224 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/4224/1/ozeke.htm|/style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4224/2/ozeke.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: "Brugada syndrome; Fever\n" lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:57 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 2 pagerange: 146-148 pubdom: TRUE publication: Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal publisher: Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Group refereed: TRUE referencetext: |- 1.
