    Citation Excerpt :

    The term phenocopy describes a phenotype which is caused by environmental conditions that matches one determined by a gene, and so the absence of any apparent genetic abnormality is central to the concept of BrP; the environmental factors alone are sufficient to result in a BrS pattern rather than unmasking latent BrS57,73–75. These factors may include myocardial ischemia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia (Figure 2), hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia (Figure 3), pulmonary embolism, concomitant alcohol and heroin overdose, hypothermia, hypopituitarism, mechanical mediastinal compression, electrocution (Figure 4), and poor ECG filters; they are categorized by etiology in Table 638,73–87. The website www.brugadaphenocopy.com was recently created to establish an online international database of BrP cases to allow for longitudinal follow-up of these conditions and to develop a better understanding of BrP74.
