DiscussionThe current case highlights the cffccts of hypothermia on the electrocardiogram mimicking Bru-gada Syndronne.Thc effect of cooling on the cardiac conduction system in an animal model vvas studied in the la to l 800 (2). In humans the first description of an electrocardiographic abnormality associated with hypothermia was in 1938 (3). Hypothermia markedly slows conduction velocity and delays depolarization from the cndocardium to thc epicardium (4). Hypothermia may result in lethal ventricular arrhythmias such and asystole. Heart rate decreases in a nonlinear fashion as COOli Ing OCCurs and Conduction from the a tria to the
