Why the study?
Previously published cases deny an association between CPVT and DCM, although rare cases suggest a possible link between CPVT and DCM development.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
This case highlights a rare potential association between CPVT, bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation, and the subsequent development of dilated cardiomyopathy.
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) can cause fatal tachyarrhythmias brought on by physical or emotional stress. Previously published cases deny the association between CPVT with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, rare cases show a possible association between CPVT and DCM development. Our case is one of them; we describe the development of dilated cardiomyopathy in a young woman who, six years earlier, went through bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) because of symptomatic catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
