CPVT
A Guide for Patients and Health Care Providers

Why do I need to know about CPVT?
CPVT is an uncommon, potentially lethal, treatable cardiac channelopathy (inherited heart rhythm syndrome). It is far less common than LQTS but does affect otherwise healthy infants, children, adolescents, and adults at an unacceptably high rate. However, with increased awareness, genetic testing, and effective treatment options, CPVT can be diagnosed early and sudden death prevented. Still, this condition is often undetected prior to death and not recognized as the cause of death. Family members of individuals with unexplained death should be tested for CPVT and other genetic arrhythmias. CPVT is a treatable disorder and, with correct diagnosis and treatments, most deaths are preventable.

PROTECT YOURSELF. SPREAD THE WORD.
Official rescue teams who have been dispatched to the scene of earthquakes and other disasters around the world continue to advocate use of the internationally recognized “Drop, Cover and Hold On” protocol to protect lives during earthquakes:
- DROP to the ground (before the earthquake drops you!),
- Take COVER by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and
- HOLD ON to it until the shaking stops.
