May aid differentiation of ATS from CPVT by exercise testing; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Does exercise stress testing differentiate between Andersen-Tawil syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia?
Exercise stress testing is a useful diagnostic tool to differentiate ATS from CPVT, as exercise suppresses ventricular arrhythmias in ATS but provokes them in CPVT.
Inoue et al. (2017) studied this question.
