Disappearance of the Brugada-type electrocardiogram after surgical castration: a role for testosterone and an explanation for the male preponderance

Kiyotaka Matsuo et al. Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2003 Jul.

Abstract

We describe two cases of asymptomatic Brugada syndrome that displayed a persistent ECG manifestation, but in which the typical ECG pattern disappeared following surgical castration for prostate cancer. These facts suggest a possible association between manifestation of the Brugada-type ECG pattern and testosterone.
