Cardiac arrhythmia

Ventricular arrhythmias due to cardiac ryanodine receptor calcium release deficiency syndrome (VACRDS) is characterized by syncope, cardiac arrest, and/or sudden unexpected death. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation have been documented in these patients. Symptoms generally occur with physical activity or emotional stress, but unlike typical catecholaminergic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), arrhythmias are not reproducible on exercise stress testing or adrenaline challenge (Sun et al., 2021). Mutation in the RYR2 gene also causes catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia-1 (CPVT1; 604772) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-2 (ARVD2; 600996).
