Postexertional Supraventricular Tachycardia in Children with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a severe arrhythmia associated with sudden death in the young. It is caused by defective calcium handling in ventricular myocytes. The association of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with CPVT is described in the literature, occurring in the lead-up to ventricular tachycardia during exercise testing. We describe three cases of SVT that were initiated in the recovery period of exercise testing in children with CPVT.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a congenital arrhythmogenic disease linked to -adrenergic–induced ventricular arrhythmias that has a high mortality in children and young adults when untreated. As common features of the catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia phenotype, supraventricular arrhythmias have also been described in catecholaminergic polymorphic v...

An asymptomatic 5-year-old girl presented with bradycardia during a routine well-child visit. Further evaluation revealed profound sinus bradycardia, exercise-induced bidirectional ventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular tachycardia. An echocardiogram showed heavy trabeculations in the left ventricular myocardium. This patient's presentation suggested catecholaminergic polymorphic ventric...

e v t Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia VT) was first described by Reid et al in 1975 and by oumel et al in 1978. The condition was described as a amilial cardiac arrhythmia that occurs in patients with tructurally normal heart and causes exercise-/emotion-trigered syncope and sudden death with a distinctive pattern of entricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Since the f...
متن کاملCatecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. An important diagnosis in children with syncope and normal heart.
Syncope in children is primarily related to vagal hyperreactivity, but ventricular tachycardia (VT) way rarely be seen. Catecholaminergic polymorphic VT is a rare entity that can occur in children without heart disease and with a normal QT interval, which may cause syncope and sudden cardiac death. In this report, we describe the clinical features, treatment, and clinical follow-up of three chi...
متن کاملLeft cardiac sympathetic denervation for catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a potentially lethal disease characterized by adrenergically mediated ventricular arrhythmias manifested especially in children and teenagers. Beta-blockers are the cornerstone of therapy, but some patients do not have a complete response to this therapy and receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Given the nature of cate...
