Postoperative supraventricular tachycardia and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia due to a novel SCN5A variant: a case report of a rare comorbidity that is difficult to diagnose.

We treated a patient with a sodium channel gene variant. Co-existing SVT originated by a scar in the right atrium made the diagnosis extremely difficult. A multilateral diagnostic approach using an ECG analysis, an electrophysiological study, and genetic screening enabled effective combination therapy comprised of catheter ablation and an ICD.
