The 20 Best Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Doctors Near Me in Louisville, KY

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a genetic disorder that causes an abnormally fast and irregular heart rhythm in response to physical activity or emotional stress. Signs and symptoms include light-headedness, dizziness, and fainting. CPVT is caused by genetic changes in the RYR2 or CASQ2 genes. When a RYR2 genetic change is involved, the condition is passed through families in an autosomal dominant fashion. When CASQ2 genetic changes are involved, the condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. In some cases the underlying cause can not be determined.
