Treatment
Management and treatment Beta blockers (nadolol and propranolol) are the first treatment option for patients with CPVT and the maximum tolerated dose should be administered to control arrhythmias. [orpha.net]
In an emergency, treatment for ventricular tachycardia may include: CPR electrical defibrillation electric shock antiarrhythmic medication Long-term treatment may include oral antiarrhythmic medication. [healthline.com]
This will be a single-blind (blinded subjects) randomized cross-over study, in which each patient will receive treatment A (flecainide or placebo) for at least 3 months and, after a 1 week wash-out, treatment B (placebo or flecainide) for at least 3 months [clinicaltrials.gov]
P -values are reported for significant differences between treatment (e.g. isoproterenol) and baseline (i.e. no treatment), not for differences between CPVT and control CMs. [dmm.biologists.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Although CPVT is a severe and often deadly disease, early diagnosis and proper treatment can greatly increase life expectancy. [orpha.net]
Prognosis The prognosis in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) varies with the specific cardiac process, but it is predicted best by left ventricular function. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology
Etiology The two genes responsible for CPVT that have been discovered to date, are the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) gene, which is the cause of CPVT in approximately 55% to 65% of cases, and the cardiac calsequestrin gene (CASQ2), seen much less [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of CASQ2-related CPVT may be related to the loss of calcium buffering capability, and indirect destabilization of the RyR channel opening process. [centogene.com]
Despite recent advances in genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical characteristics of CPVT, further research in unraveling molecular basis and clinical translation should be performed. [heraldopenaccess.us]
The present study provides additional support for the pathophysiologic role of the RYR2 channel in CPVT. [nature.com]
The pathophysiology of CPVT is very different from Long QT syndrome. CPVT, unlike Torsade, is worsened with tachycardia. See this post for management of Torsade. [hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.com]
Prevention
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used for prevention of sudden death in patients with CPVT. [austinpublishinggroup.com]
