Expert Care for CPVT

CPVT (Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia) is a rare, inherited heart rhythm disorder where emotional stress or physical activity triggers dangerously fast, irregular heartbeats in the lower chambers of the heart. These episodes can cause palpitations, fainting, or seizures and may lead to sudden cardiac arrest, making early diagnosis and careful management essential.

Treatment & Management:

• Daily medications (like beta blockers, sometimes plus others) to prevent dangerous rhythms

• Avoiding intense physical exertion and strong emotional stress where possible

• In some cases, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to treat life-threatening arrhythmias

• Genetic counseling and family screening to identify others at risk
