Background And Objectives: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a life-threatening inherited arrhythmogenic disorder. Recently, , the major CPVT-causative gene, was associated with neuropsychiatric manifestations. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentations, neuropsychiatric manifestations, and treatment outcomes of children with CPVT.

Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare genetic disorder associated with an elevated risk of life-threatening arrhythmias and progressive ventricular impairment. Risk stratification is essential to prevent major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Our study aimed to investigate the incremental value of strain measured by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in predicting MACE in ARVC patients compared to conventional echocardiographic parameters.

DSG2, encoding desmoglein-2, is one of the causative genes of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. We previously identified a homozygous DSG2 p.Arg119Ter stop-gain variant in a patient with juvenile-onset cardiomyopathy and advanced biventricular heart failure.

Background: Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is an established approach in patients with epicardial arrhythmogenic foci and is most commonly performed via percutaneous access. An alternative approach is via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), although reports of this technique are limited to the use of catheter-based technologies for radiofrequency ablation delivery.
Case Summary: A 55-year-old man with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy presented with recurrent VT despite medical therapy.

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic disorder characterized by fibrofatty replacement of myocardial tissue, predominantly affecting the right ventricle (RV), but often involving the left ventricle (LV) as well. The early detection of fibrosis, crucial for risk stratification, has been enhanced by advanced imaging techniques. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) has shown promise as a surrogate marker for late enhancement (LE) in identifying myocardial fibrosis, yet precise cut-off values for strain are lacking.
