Article Abstract
Background: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare and lethal arrhythmia. Ryanodine receptor 2 (RYR2) mutation accounts for ∼60% of CPVT patients which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Objective: This study aimed to identify CPVT-related mutations and clinical characteristics among Taiwanese CPVT patients and compare to other cohorts worldwide.
Methods: Clinical and genetic data were obtained from the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome Registry in Taiwan (SADS-TW). Forty clinically diagnosed Taiwanese CPVT patients were included.
Results: This is the first nationwide CPVT cohort in Taiwan. Among the 29 Taiwanese patients with CPVT-related gene mutations, 55% had RYR2 mutations, a rate similar to other ethnicities. Three out of 12 RYR2 variants were unreported. Exercise-induced symptoms including syncope and cardiac arrest were more frequent in East Asian cohorts (Taiwanese 79%, Japanese 91%), compared to Caucasian cohorts (59%) (p = 0.002).
Conclusion: The discovery of diverse RYR2 mutations in the Taiwanese CVPT population demonstrates the importance of genetic testing in different ethnicities.

Background: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare inherited arrhythmia, with pathogenic variants in the gene responsible for 60% of clinically well-defined CPVT cases. Diagnosis of CPVT often occurs after a major cardiac event, posing a severe threat to the patient's life. A data set of patients with CPVT would improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with CPVT.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare but life-threatening inherited arrhythmia in children, often associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Risk stratification remains challenging. This study aimed to assess clinical characteristics, genetic profiles, and risk factors for adverse outcomes in Korean pediatric CPVT patients.

Cardiac channelopathies are a group of hereditary diseases that expose affected children and adolescents to an increased risk of syncope and sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Although cardiac channelopathies are rare, with an estimated prevalence of 1:2000-1:10,000, early recognition in order to start treatment and prevent SCD is warranted. The following article provides an overview of current recommendations and facts on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac channelopathies in children and adolescents.

Rationale: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a hereditary arrhythmia syndrome that can cause sudden cardiac death, particularly in young individuals. CPVT is often linked to triadin (TRDN) variants that disrupt calcium regulation in the cardiac muscle. Although TRDN-associated CPVT is well documented, its association with resting sinus bradycardia is rarely reported.
