J Electrocardiol. 2012 Nov-Dec;45(6):780-2. doi: 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2012.06.019. Epub 2012 Jul 24.

Abstract

A 69-year-old man without structural heart disease was admitted for syncope. His electrocardiogram displayed complete right bundle branch (CRBBB). A coved type ST elevation was observed with transient normalization of CRBBB giving rise to a normal QRS. These findings suggest that Brugada syndrome can be masked by CRBBB.
