AbstractCatecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare (prevalence: 1/10,000) channelopathy characterised by exercise-induced or emotion-triggered ventricular arrhythmias. There is an overall paucity of genotype-phenotype correlation studies in patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and in vitro and in vivo effects of individual mutations have not been well characterised. We report an 8-year-old child who carried a mutation in the coding exon 8 of RYR2 (p.R169L) and presented with emotion-triggered sudden cardiac death. He was also found to have left ventricular hypertrophy, a combination which has not been reported before. We discuss the association between genetic variation in RYR2, particularly mutations causing replacement of arginine at position 169 of RYR2 and structural cardiac abnormalities.

To establish whether catecholamines per se in the absence of significant increases in systolic load induce myocardial damage via apoptosis, rats were treated with vehicle or isoproterenol (400 μg ⋅ kg−1 ⋅ h−1). Apoptotic cardiocytes (Apo) were identified in paraffin-embedded sections using terminal deoxynucleotide transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling. Results were confirmed using an independent ligase assay. Systolic blood pressures were comparable in isoproterenol-treated and control rats. Twenty-four hours of treatment with isoproterenol resulted in significant numbers of Apo compared with control [7.9 ± 2.5 vs. 0.3 ± 0.3 (SE) cm−2, P < 0.05]. A cohort of animals was subjected to ventricular pacing to induce a tachycardia equivalent to that induced by isoproterenol, and these animals did not show an increase in Apo. The left ventricular hypertrophy induced by 2 wk of abdominal aortic banding also increased Apo (∼7.2-fold); however, 24 h of isoproterenol infusion did not induce additional Apo in these rats. Thus catecholamines, in the absence of altered systolic load, induce Apo which is not mediated solely by tachycardia. Left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to abdominal aortic banding is associated with Apo, but this does not increase sensitivity to isoproterenol-induced Apo.
