Brugada phenocopy in the context of intracranial hemorrhage

An 85-year-old man was admitted to the ICU with syncope preceded by prodromal symptoms and complicated by head trauma. He had a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, mild chronic renal failure, and an aortic valve replacement seven years prior. His medications included enalapril 10mg, amlodipine 5mg, atorvastatin 10mg, aspirin 100mg, and amiodarone 200mg. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure of 150/60mmHg, and a right lid hematoma. A 12-lead ECG at admission demonstrated sinus rhythm, first degree AV block (PR interval 220ms) (Fig. 1A).
