Abstract
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a challenging and serious disease with a high incidence of sudden cardiac deaths. Patients with CPVT should not be exposed to physical or emotional exertion that might induce ventricular tachycardia. This article presents a case with CPVT and discusses the clinical features of the disease, its genetic background, and the management of CPVT.
