Overview

There are no established measures for the primary prevention of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. However, episodes of syncope and sudden cardiac arrest can be prevented with lifestyle modifications, holter monitoring and compliance with medical therapy.

Primary Prevention

There are no established measures for the primary prevention of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
However, there are preventive measures for episodes of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, which include:

  • Lifestyle modifications:[1]
    1. Limit or avoid competitive sports
    2. Limit or avoid strenuous exercises
    3. Limit exposure to stressful environments
  • Holter monitoring: It helps in keeping the heart-rate within a safe range during physical activity.
  • Compliance with medical therapy.
  • Follow-up visits with a cardiologist every six to twelve months to monitor the efficacy of therapy.
