Article Synopsis
- - CPVT is an inherited heart condition caused by specific genetic mutations, primarily affecting the ryanodine receptor-2 and calsequestrin-2 genes, leading to arrhythmias often triggered by exercise or stress.
- - Diagnosis is mainly clinical, with symptoms including fainting after physical activity or stress, and treatment typically involves beta-blockers, with advanced options like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for severe cases.
- - Recent advances in gene therapy show promise for treating CPVT, but human trials are sparse due to the rarity of the condition and high funding requirements.
