We report the case of a patient whose Brugada ECG pattern was unmasked by hyperthermia secondary to acute cholangitis. Serial ECGs showed progressive attenuation of ST segment elevation as body temperature gradually returned to normal. Structural heart disease was ruled out. Intravenous flecainide injection reproduced a less remarkable ST segment elevation. Genetic screening demonstrated a single amino acid substitution (H681P) in the <jats:italic>SCN5A<\/jats:italic> gene, thus confirming the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. In vitro expression of this newly characterized genetic defect revealed novel biophysical abnormalities consisting of a shift in both steady\u2010state activation and inactivation, resulting in a 60% reduction of sodium window current. Thus, <jats:italic>SCN5A<\/jats:italic>\u2010H681P mutation induces a significant loss of transmembrane current and is clinically associated with a pathologic phenotype that is elicited by hyperthermia. Overall the observed clinical features are in agreement with previous observations and strongly suggest that fever may be an environmental modifier among Brugada syndrome patients with a detrimental (and possibly arrhythmogenic) effect on cardiac repolarization.<\/jats:bold>\n          <jats:italic>(J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 14, pp. 407\u2010411, April 2003)<\/jats:italic>
