The clinical and instrumental study included ECG-12, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring, genealogical history collection and family history of sudden cardiac death (SCD), transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to detect structural myocardial changes, electrophysiologic study according to indications, and ICD monitoring. High-throughput sequencing (NGS) was utilized to search for mutations in genes linked to the onset of channelopathies and other inherited rhythm disorders. \u0000RESULTS: In 8 patients, nucleotide variants of pathogenicity classes III-V were identified according to the ACMG (2015) criteria in the RYR2 gene associated with CPVT. Pathogenic (IV-V class) and likely pathogenic (IV class) mutations in the RYR2 gene were found in 6 (75%) probands, variants with uncertain clinical significance (VUS, class III) were found in 2 patients. At the time of diagnosis, transient QTc interval prolongation of more than 480 ms was detected in 4 (50%) patients; bradycardia less than 54 beats/min — in 2 (25%) patients, sequences of supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachyarrhythmia — in 2 (25%) patients. The most severe form of the disease with marked clinical manifestations and an episode of clinical death with subsequent resuscitation, as well as a transient QTc interval prolongation exceeding 500 ms was observed in patients with mutations c.11814C A (p.Ser3938Arg, rs794728704); c.463G A (p.Gly155Arg) and c.14876G A (p.Arg4959Gln, rs794728811) in the RYR2 gene. Three (37.5%) patients underwent ICD implantation; one for primary SCD prevention and two for secondary prevention. \u0000CONCLUSION: In this study, the spectrum of clinical manifestations in patients with genetically confirmed CPVT was examined. The findings highlight transient QTc interval extensions, significant sinus bradycardia, and sequences of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, which can escalate into life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias in CPVT patients.","PeriodicalId":518674,"journal":{"name":"Cardiac Arrhythmias","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Endovascular interventions were performed in 39 patients. The average follow-up period after the endocardial stage was 34.37 (standard deviation 24.32) months. The median age of patients was 64 (58–67) years, 21 (54%) were men. The patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 — after the classic biatrial (BA) labyrinth-3 — 23 (59%) patients, group 2 — after the left-atrial variant (LA) labyrinth-3 — 16 (41%) patients. \u0000At the endocardial stage, electrophysiological studies (EFI) were performed to clarify the mechanism of arrhythmia, and ablation eliminated tachyarrhythmia. EFI protocol: revision of the pulmonary veins, determination of the isolation of the posterior wall of the LA assessment of atrial arrhythmia, elimination of arrhythmia, control induction of arrhythmia after ablation. After repeated intervention, patients were observed in the operating clinic every 3 months. \u0000RESULTS: After the endocardial stage, a regular rhythm was determined in 19 (82.6%) patients of the BA group, 13 (92.9%) patients of the LA group (p = 0.914). Relapses in the form of AF were noted in 5 patients (4 — group 1 and 1 — group 2) group (p = 0.306) All relapses of tachyarrhythmia with an irregular cycle (AF) were detected in patients with AF before the endovascular stage In both groups, there were cases of restoration of conduction in the pulmonary veins — 10 (43.5%) patients after BA ablation and 1 (5.3%) patient after LA ablation. There are no recurrences of atrial arrhythmia after ablation of atrial flutter (arrhythmia with a stable cycle). \u0000CONCLUSION: The endocardial stage is highly effective and demonstrates subsequent freedom from atrial arrhythmia in patients who have tachycardia with a regular cycle after both methods of surgical ablation of AF. Recurrent tachyarrhythmia in the form of AF (irregular cycle) is associated with a low probability of maintaining a regular atrial rhythm after a repeated endocardial procedure, due to the presence of structural and electrophysiological changes in the atrial myocardium.","PeriodicalId":518674,"journal":{"name":"Cardiac Arrhythmias","volume":"11 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
