Expert cardiologists cannot distinguish between Brugada phenocopy and Brugada syndrome electrocardiogram patterns

Conclusion
Our results provide strong evidence that BrP and BrS ECG patterns are visually identical and indistinguishable. These findings support the use of systematic diagnostic criteria for differentiating BrP vs. BrS as an erroneous diagnosis may have a negative impact on patient morbidity and mortality.
