Abstract |
CPVT is a rare inherited arrhythmogenic disorder characterized by bidirectional, polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias triggered by catecholamines released during exercise, stress, or sudden emotion in individuals with a normal resting electrocardiogram and structurally normal heart. Mutations in the ryanodine receptor 2 gene are the most common known etiology of this disorder. The c.1195A > G(p.Met399Val) variant in Exon 14 of RyR2 is currently classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. We present a case of CPVT caused by this novel disease-causing RyR2 variant and discuss its pathophysiology. The role of SSRIs in treating patients with CPVT unresponsive to mainstream therapies is also highlighted.
