2 Agenda Long QT Syndrome Short QT Syndrome Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) Brugada Syndrome Early Repolarization Syndrome Disorders responsible for 10% 15% of cases of sudden unexplained death in young adults and children1 1 Deo et al. Circulation. 2012;125:

3 Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) Prolonged Repolarization Prolonged QT Torsades de pointes

4 QT Interval: What Is Normal? The QT interval should be measured preferentially in leads II or V5 Cowan et al. Am J Cardiol. 1988;61:83-7 Bazett s formula: QTc=QT/ RR (expressed in seconds) Bazett H. Heart. 1920;7: Although a QTc interval of 440 ms in males and 460 ms in females is considered abnormal, one can find carriers of mutations as well as healthy individuals within this range

29 Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) CPVT by genetic subtype

30 Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) Arrhythmic manifestations PVCs, Bidirectional VT Onset of VAs with physical exercise, emotional stress, or catecholamine administration, in the absence of structural heart disease Symptoms typically begin in childhood or adolescence, but there are cases with onset in adulthood Syncope during exercise is typically the presenting symptom Untreated, this condition has very high mortality, with reports of up to 50% by the age of 30 years TdP

31 Management of CPVT: β-blockers in all patients!!! Prefer beta-blockers without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity (nadolol, propranolol). Full dose (e.g. nadolol 1-2 mg/kg per day) Recommend strict compliance to therapy 2015 ESC Guidelines for management of pts with VAs & prevention of SCD. Europace 2015 Aug 29

32 Emerging therapies for CPVT: Sodium channel blockers 29 patients: 22/29 (76%) had arrhythmias suppression in comparison with conventional therapy. During 20 months of follow-up, only 1/29 patients had an ICD shock (low flecainide levels) van der Werf et al. JACC 2011;57: ESC Guidelines for management of pts with VAs & prevention of SCD. Europace 2015 Aug 29

33 Management of CPVT: ICDs ICD should be programmed with long delays before shock delivery to avoid painful shocks that might trigger further arrhythmias ESC Guidelines for management of pts with VAs & prevention of SCD. Europace 2015 Aug 29

Ozcan et al. J Cardiol 2014;64:164 70

54 Some thoughts The first step in risk stratification is diagnosis Asymptomatic patients with electrical diseases are in low risk, but are the majority of the cases Every patient is asymptomatic.until he/she experiences the first event (which may be a cardiac arrest!). Decision on required therapy should be made with the patient discussing the individual risk profile
