Abstract:
Exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (EIVT) is typical and quite common in patients with long QT-Syndrome (LQTS) or catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Although patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) experience EIVT infrequently, the occurrence of EIVT is of great prognostic value in these patients. The following overview will introduce these cardiomyopathies and highlight the importance of their EIVT.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
