Abstract :Brugada syndrome is a hereditary cardiac sodium channelopathy that is autosomal dominant. Despite having a structurally normal heart, people with Brugada syndrome have an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern used for diagnosis can be seen either spontaneously or during a sodium channel blocker test. Despite recent findings from sizable population cohorts, risk stratification among affected patients is still difficult. Numerous risk factors for stratifying the risk of sudden cardiac death in Brugada syndrome have recently been proposed. The Brugada pattern is defined as a significant coved or saddle-shaped ST-segment elevation followed by T wave shifts in V1–V3 and without any other obvious explanation. Brugada syndrome or Brugada pattern can be occasionally precipitated by fever and several infections. In this review, our goal was to examine the literature in relation to Brugada syndrome/ Brugada pattern and fever.
