Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern describes a characteristic right bundle branch block (RBBB) appearance with persistent ST-segment elevation in precordial leads V1 to V3, often associated with Brugada syndrome, a genetic sodium channelopathy, in the absence of ischemic or structural heart disease. Known triggers such as fever, electrolyte abnormalities, medications, or recreational drugs may elicit such an ECG pattern without a clear clinical significance yet creating a dilemma for clinicians providing care in the urgent setting. We present a case of reversible Brugada electrocardiogram pattern (BEP) after recreational use of delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and explore the need for further research on the safety of such an overthe-counter supplement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
