title: Brugada pattern in toxic myocarditis due to severe aluminum phosphide poisoning.
abstract: Brugada pattern electrocardiogram (ECG) unmasking can occur due to various drugs. There are old reports of the acute infarction pattern in aluminum phosphide (rodenticide)-related toxic myocarditis. The given case illustrates the Brugada pattern and various other ECG abnormalities in a patient with this poisoning. The old reported cases of the acute infarction pattern are also likely the Brugada pattern.
