ABSTRACT
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a potentially lethal disease, whose characteristic ventricular
tachycardias are adrenergic-dependent. Although rare, CPVT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young individuals
with exercise-induced syncope. Mutations in five different genes (
RYR2, CASQ2, CALM1, TRDN, and
TECRL) are associated
with the CPVT phenotype, although RYR2 missense mutations are implicated in up to 60 % of all CPVT cases. Genetic
testing has an essential role in the diagnosis, management, pre-symptomatic diagnosis, counseling, and treatment of the proband;
furthermore, genetic information can be useful for offspring and relatives. By expert consensus, CPVT gene testing is a
Class I recommendation for patients with suspected CPVT. Beta-adrenergic and calcium-channel blockers are the cornerstones
of treatment due to the catecholaminergic dependence of the arrhythmias. Unresponsive patients are treated with an implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death. In the present article, a brief review of the genetic and
molecular mechanisms of this intriguing disease is provided.
