An Unusual Genetic Observation in a Case of Short-Coupled PVC-Triggered Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricular fibrillation induced by short-coupled premature ventricular complex is an uncommon cause of cardiac arrest in young individuals with no structural heart disease. The genetic substrate of this condition is heterogeneous and remains incompletely defined. We describe a case of short-coupled...

Descripción
Sumario:Ventricular fibrillation induced by short-coupled premature ventricular complex is an uncommon cause of cardiac arrest in young individuals with no structural heart disease. The genetic substrate of this condition is heterogeneous and remains incompletely defined. We describe a case of short-coupled premature ventricular complex–triggered ventricular fibrillation with a likely pathogenic variant in the titin (TTN) gene. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
