Aluminium Phosphide-Induced Expression of Covertly Present Brugada Pattern in Electrocardiogram: A Rare Case Report.
Curēus 2020 September 21
Aluminum phosphide is a common suicidal agent in an agrarian country like India. Toxicity is mostly due to the liberation of phosphine gas, which non-competitively inhibits cytochrome oxidase in the mitochondria causing cell hypoxia. It can involve almost any organ in the body, but the most common is cardiovascular system. Various cardiovascular manifestations are hypotension, myocarditis, pericarditis, congestive heart failure, various ECG changes like myocardial infarction, conduction abnormalities, various arrhythmias, and very rarely unmasking of the Brugada pattern. Here we are presenting a case in which the patient developed unmasking of the Brugada pattern in ECG, and gradually he improved symptomatically and ECG wise with conservative treatment. As unmasking of the Brugada pattern in ECG can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias, one has to be cautious and keep this in mind while dealing with a case of aluminum phosphide poisoning.
