Core Tip	Diagnostic distinctions between Brugada phenocopies (BrP) and Brugada syndrome (BrS) are: (1) BrP patients have a reversible underlying condition and upon resolution of this condition, the electrocardiogram normalizes; (2) BrP patients have a low pretest probability of BrS as opposed to a high pretest probability in patients with true congenital BrS; and (3) BrP patients have a negative sodium channel blocker test, while patients with BrS have a positive test. The different electrocardiographic response to the provocative challenge highlights a pathophysiological divergence when comparing BrP and BrS. This suggests alternative underlying mechanisms with various genetic, structural and environmental interactions yet to be elucidated.
