Ryanodine receptor 2 mutation: Not only catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia but also epileptiform discharges in electroencephalogram

@#Ca2+ leak via ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2) can cause potentially fatal arrhythmias, and RyR2 mutations have been shown in the aetiology of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. We report the case of a patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia resulting from a RYR2 mutation who had not only typical electroencephalogram changes, but also epileptiform discharges in electroencephalogram. We believe the changes were closely related to the RYR2 mutation.
