A review of the latest literature and thought leaders in pediatric cardiovascular care.
This week we go back in time to 2022 to re-enter the world of cardiogenetics and electrophysiology when we review the topic of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Is there a 'best' beta blocker for the treatment of this condition? Why is one better than others? How should one manage the patient who is intolerant of beta blockade but needs it for prevention of arrhythmia? What is the role of flecainide, sympathectomy or even ICD's for these patients? PhD candidate and physician Dr. Puck Peltenburg and CPVT world authority, Dr. Christian van der Werf (both of University of Amsterdam) share their deep insights this week. doi: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.056018.
