Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (a.k.a. Torsades de Pointes) is best treated with intravenous magnesium. Patients with a prolonged QT interval have a higher risk of developing polymorphic VT.
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare genetic ventricular tachycardia which can result in sudden cardiac death and/or syncope in young individuals with structurally ...
Two genes are clearly associated with CPVT (RyR2 autosomal dominant and CASQ2 autosomal recessive). Triadin and calmodulin mutations have been shown in possible CPVT cases and in one family with ...
