International Multicenter Cohort Study on Beta-Blocker–Free Treatment Strategies for Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Patients
Background
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare, potentially life-threatening genetic heart disease. Nonselective beta-blockers (BBs) are highly effective in reducing CPVT-triggered arrhythmic events. However, some patients suffer from unacceptable BB side effects and might require strategies without a BB.
Objectives
This study sought to review the spectrum of and outcomes associated with BB-free treatment configurations in patients with CPVT enrolled in the International CPVT Registry.
Methods
From the Registry, patients with RYR2 variant-positive CPVT treated with a BB-free strategy for ≥6 months were included. Two treatment groups were defined: patients classified as very low risk and treated with intentional nontherapy (INT) and patients who needed to be treated but did not tolerate BBs and were treated with 3 different strategies.
Results
Overall, 100 of 1,017 patients (10%) were on a BB-free treatment strategy. There were 73 patients (33 females [42%]) in the INT group. In patients 66 (90%), INT was pursued after low-risk assessment in asymptomatic patients and absent or negligible stress test phenotype. Twenty-seven patients (22 females, 81%) were treated using 3 different BB-free treatment strategies (flecainide monotherapy, n = 21; left cardiac sympathetic denervation monotherapy, n = 2; flecainide + left cardiac sympathetic denervation, n = 4). In total, 25 patients (93%) were previously treated with BBs. During a median follow-up of 6 years (IQR: 3-9 years), 2 patients (2%) had a CPVT-associated event.
Conclusions
Although nonselective BBs remain the cornerstone treatment for CPVT, 10% of patients with CPVT required a BB-free treatment strategy. After careful risk assessment, safe and effective BB-free treatment strategies can be configured.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields are encouraged. Experimental and preclinical work that directly relates to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are also encouraged. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
