Here is the initial ED ECG: What do you think? The ECG shows peaked T waves, QRS widening, a coved-type ST segment with inverted T waves most prominent in V1 and V2 consistent with Brugada pattern. They recommended repeating his ECG and awaiting troponin since the patient did not have any chest pain. Creatinine elevated at 3.09
