Introduction: We describe a unique case of TECRL-CPVT presented with cardiac arrest.
Methods: Post resuscitation, the patient developed regular ventricular tachycardia featuring a left purkinje system morphology.
Results: There was clear suppression of arrhythmia with the addition of flecainide and isolated ventricular ectopy causing secondary T-wave changes.
Conclusion: A high index of suspicion was required to eventually make the diagnosis through whole exome sequencing.
