Journal ArticleDOI

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in children: analysis of therapeutic strategies and outcomes from an international multicenter registry.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates a malignant phenotype and lengthy delay to diagnosis in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators were common despite numerous device-related complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the autonomic nervous system in arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death

TL;DR: Increasing evidence suggests that modulation of the autonomic nervous system as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is safe and effective and further studies investigating the involvement of the ANS in arrhythmia pathogenesis and its modulation for the treatment for cardiac arrHythmias are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in previously undiagnosed patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia resuscitated from sudden cardiac arrest

TL;DR: In previously undiagnosed patients with CPVT who presented with SCA, an ICD was not associated with improved survival and was associated with both a high rate of appropriate I CD shocks and inappropriate ICD shocks along with other device-related complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical and genetic spectrum of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia: findings from an international multicentre registry.

TL;DR: This large, multicentre study identifies contemporary challenges related to the diagnosis and prognostication of CPVT patients andStructural modelling of RyR2 can improve the understanding of severe CPVT phenotypes.
