Gene mutations such as CALM1, RYR2 (ryanodine receptor-2), CASQ2, and TRDN have been identified as common causes of CPVT. Those affected can present with episodes of syncope, sudden cardiac arrest, or sudden cardiac death due to either fast polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or bidirectional VT. The gene discussed is CALM1; the disease is catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
