Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare heart condition that can cause fast and dangerous heartbeats, particularly during exercise or stress. It often occurs in young people, especially those with a family history of sudden cardiac events. The condition is linked to abnormal responses to adrenaline, a hormone that increases heart rate. This disruption can lead to fainting or even life-threatening events. Early diagnosis and management, which may include lifestyle changes or medications, are crucial to reduce risks and ensure safety during physical activities.
