Objective: To evaluate factors for predicting ventricular arrhythmia, the clinical effect of drugs on patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), and their long-term outcomes.
Methods: Six patients diagnosed with CPVT underwent a series of electrocardiograms and 24-hour Holter monitoring. β-blockers were recommended for all patients, while some patients were also prescribed propafenone and 1 patient underwent catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RDN).
