Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited arrhythmic disorder with a highly malignant clinical course. Exercise-stress test is the first-line approach to diagnose suspected individuals. We sought to elucidate the value of exercise-stress test for predicting mutations and future cardiac events in CPVT-family relatives. METHODS AND RESULTS: The present study included 67...
