Abstract

En 中文
Calmodulinopathies are very rare genetic disorders associated with a high risk for sudden cardiac death. Disease-causing variants in 1 of the 3 identical CALM genes cause severe forms of long QT syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and there are many unanswered questions concerning management and underlying mechanisms. What is currently known depends largely on the initial publications from the ICamR (International Calmodulinopathy Registry). However, progress is delayed because the accrual of patients in ICamR is slow. As we did long ago for long QT syndrome, this is a call for action, requesting doctors all over the world to enroll even their isolated cases in the Registry. This is the only way to obtain, for an adequate number of patients, the data necessary to define the spectrum of clinical manifestations and the genotype-phenotype correlation essential for an improved risk stratification and best therapeutic management.
