Introduction:
We report the case of a 37-year-old male athlete, who developed during exercise atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. No structural heart disease.
Results:
Invasive programmed ventricular stimulation induced ventricular fibrillation. A heterozygous mutation in the CASQ2 gene (c.775G>T, p.E259X) was found.
Conclusions:
The findings in our patient may suggest some increased ventricular excitability using programmed ventricular stimulation in CASQ2 polymorphic ventricular tachycardia patients.
