Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are comprised of ventricular premature depolarisations, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT)and rarely sustained VT, and these typically occur in the absence of structural heart disease. In general, idiopathic VAs tend to have a benign prognosis, although a high burden of VAs can result in left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and cardiomyopathy… View more

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare but severe genetic cardiac arrhythmia disorder. Clinically, CPVT most often presents in childhood with symptoms such as syncope or sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation typically triggered by exercise or emotions in the absence of structural heart disease.1 Mutations… View more
