• do not exhibit any macroscopic alteration of the heart and vessels, no fibrous-fatty infiltration, or right ventricular cardiomyopathy under normal basal conditions
|
• develop bidirectional and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia upon stress testing and on administration of caffeine and of adrenergic agonists
• 5 of 14 heterozygotes undergoing stress testing followed by epinephrine administration develop repetitive ventricular arrhythmias (sustained (VTsus) and non-sustained (VTns) ventricular tachycardia)
|
• 4 of 8 (50%) heterozygotes undergoing epinephrine and caffeine treatment develop sustained arrhythmias and 5 of 5 heterozygotes pretreated with propranolol, an antiadrenergic compound, develop ventricular arrhythmias
|
• develop ventricular fibrillation on administration of caffeine and of adrenergic agonists
